Wow the people in this thread are a huge bummer. This is much cooler and I doubt this is a real safety issue. You can already sign up for a free cloudflare account and deploy it for free, on your own, on a free workers.dev domain. The friction removal here isn't going to meaningfully change the security / amount of malicious content.

People are losing the ability to read. Lots of high schoolers are incapable of reading properly already. Attention spans shrink. We got some fun times ahead of us.

We need these legal texts as short form TikTok content I am afraid.

Netlify made this 10 years ago... they even copied the name! https://app.netlify.com/drop

There are numerous products like this out there. Isn’t that where Dropbox got its name in the first place?

A drop box is a real physical thing, where you drop items for other people to collect.
