I don’t think calling people who don’t really understand computer security a can be tricked “stupid” is fair or helpful.
Designing a product so that almost all of it’s intended users can operate it safely seems like the right decision.
Wait a second... making a product that is safe and easy to use requires removing or mitigating potential hazards involving product. Building safeguards around a feature that can be used to hurt people in significant ways is exactly that, isn't it?
Are you responding to me? I think we agree. I'm saying that calling scam victims "stupid" and then not trying to change the product to protect them is bad.
How is it unfair? Are you assuming only intelligent people use Android?
Not at all. There are a lot of people in the world. Many of them are not nearly as interested in tech as you, or have simply not have the reason or access to learn more. That does not make them stupid.
