Please point me to where GoDaddy or any other hosting site mentions public suffix, or where Apple or Google or Mozilla have a listing hosting best practices that include avoiding false positives by Safe Browsing…

  • >GoDaddy or any other hosting site mentions public suffix

    They don't need to mention it because they handle it on behalf of the client. Them recommending best practices like using separate domains makes as much sense as them recommending what TLS configs to use.

    >or where Apple or Google or Mozilla have a listing hosting best practices that include avoiding false positives by Safe Browsing…

    Since were those sites the go to place to learn how to host a site? Apple doesn't offer anything related to web hosting besides "a computer that can run nginx". Google might be the place to ask if you were your aunt and "google" means "internet" to her. Mozilla is the most plausible one because they host MDN, but hosting documentation on HTML/CSS/JS doesn't necessarily mean they offer hosting advice, any more than expecting docs.djangoproject.com to contain hosting advice.

It's not a "service" at all. It's Google maliciously inserting themselves into the browsing experience of users, including those that consciously choose a non-Google browser, in order to build a global web censorship system.

>You might not think it is, but internet is filled utterly dangerous, scammy, phisy, malwary websites

Google is happy to take their money and show scammy ads. Google ads are the most common vector for fake software support scams. Most people google something like "microsoft support" and end up there. Has Google ever banned their own ad domains?

Google is the last entity I would trust to be neutral here.

The argument would work better if Google wasn't the #1 distributor of scams and malware in the world with adsense. (Which strangely isn't flagged by safe browsing, maybe a coincidence)

  • What is Safari getting by using Safe Browsing?

    • Is this a rhetoric question? Safari is just a middleman. G offers seemingly free services in exchange of your data and in order to get a market monopoly. Then they can sell you to their advertisers, squeeze out the competition and become the only Sheriff in town. How many free lunches you have got in your career?

  • You should not be downvoted. Either HN has had an influx of ignorant normies or it's google bots attacking any negative comments

    • People working for famous adtech companies don't like it when people like op burst their bubble. I myself don't like it one bit - keep on changing the world you beautiful geniuses!

    • HN is extremely tone-policed. Lines like "holy shit look in a mirror" are likely to attract downvotes because of their form, with no other factors being considered.
