An example is Meta striking deals with telecom operators to offer unmetered access to Meta services making Facebook synonymous with the Internet in some countries.

Actions and actors live in a context. Stop being so autistic and start looking at the bigger picture. You are not immune to propaganda.

If you want total safety from misfortune why have kids at all? Pregnancy and birth is one of the most dangerous things people choose to do voluntarily. 1 in 200 newborns die in the US. You could avoid that by not having kids!

Flippant I know. But at the end of the day to live is to take risks. Extreme risk avoidance will come back to bite you on a later day in the form of declining birth rates, increasing neuroticism and support for building a police state.

It is also very bad if the company that gets to decide which user agents get to see a webpage owns a browser. I could easily see some kind of fingerprinting mechanisms built into the browser if cloudflare is in charge. For your safety, of course.

And even if you want to feel superior to others, you can just count them as cheaters and not count their "achievements?" Many games already disable achievements if you turn cheats on already.

Not with this attitude.

There is also a larger problem of a private entity being the MITM for a large portion of internet traffic. But i don't think this is the point GP was trying to make.

TFA spells out why this is wrong better than I could.

> There is another important aspect of this configuration. It was opt-out, not opt-in. A user did not have to actually use Docker. The security tradeoff was made for them, applied to the default account, and the tradeoff was not explained to the user.

> Security-sensitive defaults matter precisely because many users reasonably assume that the operating system defaults to secure and will inform or prompt them to opt-in to less secure settings.

What the fuck? Docker makes it VERY, VERY clear this is unsafe. Feel free to verify the documentation.

Why would you want to make this the default for your users, without even telling them? Did someone configured his own system to work this way and decided it is a good idea to ship it as a part of an "opinionated" distro??? Makes you wonder how much other crap is there.

Also worth keep in mind the US tried mass public housing projects in the 60s. And then they stopped because they all ended up being crime ridden shitholes.

I think if you have to keep adding these caveats to some of the most popular games of the past decade, then something about your classification criteria is fundamentally broken.
