amywebb celrae newsbyschmidt ONAConf IMO: it's at about the level of asking users to install browser bars that click-under on a news site in order to game ad revenue.

amywebb celrae newsbyschmidt ONAConf I think that even with lots of technical expertise in place, it's dangerous and it is unethical to open these doors without the right framing or tools.
