MODERATORS
Are you illiterate? My very next sentence was:
If the practices are predatory, blaming the user is excusing the predatory practices. Bragging about how you use something else in that context is doubling down on blaming the user instead of the practices.
So no, I am not illiterate. You ahould have just left off the sentence blaming the victim.
They blamed both, though.
Blaming a user for falling for malicious practices designed by multibillion dollars companies is like blaming the victim of a hit and run. "It was their fault for using the crosswalk, but the driver was also wrong for not stopping."
Both sides!
Yeah, no one should have to look at what they're doing to stop themselves from making mistakes! Everyone should be able to blindly make decisions and they should always be correct!
Victims just bring it on themselves!
