I added the quotes, it clearly was not taken directly word for word and it was written in plain English for clarity. Perhaps spend less time picking apart comments and trolling on the internet if you do not know the definitions of words? https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/abet 1 : to actively second and encourage (something, such as an activity or plan) abet the commission of a crime 2 : to assist or support…

This is the second time you’ve done that in this conversation. Please stop. It’s giving you incorrect or misleading information. Bona fide lawyers are finding themselves subject to disciplinary action for relying on LLMs, which have been found to falsify law and case…

I literally copy and pasted both quotes in my messages from the websites also referenced.

I highly doubt you are a lawyer.

The article headline says “investigated,” not “punished.”

The investigation consisted of the police busting into their house and stealing all of their electronic devices, which is a punishment.

Securing physical evidence subject to a warrant is not punishment under the law. But I take your point that this seems like a pretty heavy-handed reaction.

The law may not call a spade a spade, but it still is.

The TLD owner in this case was Radix, which also owns .store .online .tech .site .fun .pw .host .press .space .uno .website https://radix.website/

They seem to be almost always associated with scam sites. So, might as well to block entire TLDs and never buy a domain under those TLDs

add .xyz to that list

> Fundamentally, this was google's fault for misusing a recovery email for 2FA. While this would absolutely suck and I sympathise with anyone getting hit by this out of the blue, it's pretty clearly your fault, not Google's. What should they have done? Just permit everyone to avoid upgrading to 2FA indefinitely? That would result in relatively more account hacks overall, for which they would inevitably be roasted in…

The only reason Google does that 2FA dance is to get your phone number 'cuz it tends to be a very strong persistent marker which is very useful for... advertisement.

Why is 2FA so critical it’s worth proactively breaking the user? What’s the even more bad thing that would (not could) happen to the user if 2FA was not enabled?

Password database leaks turning into spam/proxy farms of very well aged accounts.

That’s a could.
