@hexbear.netyeah, but this approach can be generalized to any service that you are logged in to really. VPN helps but really you just can't open signed-in tabs of links from untrusted sources
Yeah... I'm with you, people are not taking the risks of a lot of things seriously. Rule changes aren't a bad idea, especially since they don't require dev effort that we don't have, but as much as possible we should probably automate enforcement, it will make it more effective/consistent.
Its all wasted effort, until it's not, and then it'll be too late.
Automod tools do exist now but we would have to put in some dev effort to get the features we want, and it may not scale super well to our large instance size. And its hard to keep up with all the major sites let alone small obscure sites or straight up honeypots. You can't really beat careless user behavior, but you can certainly improve things.
its gonna be really tough to balance usability and sufficient safety/paranoia here IMO. I think the current approach is mostly "people can choose their own risk level" and giving people tools like invidious links, etc.

But here's the gist:
In a just-unsealed case from Kentucky reviewed by Forbes, undercover cops sought to identify the individual behind the online moniker “elonmuskwhm,” who they suspect of buying bitcoin for cash, potentially running afoul of money laundering laws and rules around unlicensed money transmitting. In conversations with the user in early January, undercover agents sent links of YouTube tutorials for mapping via drones and augmented reality software, then asked Google for information on who had viewed the videos, which collectively have been watched over 30,000 times.
The court orders show the government telling Google to provide the names, addresses, telephone numbers and user activity for all Google account users who accessed the YouTube videos between January 1 and January 8, 2023. The government also wanted the IP addresses of non-Google account owners who viewed the videos. The cops argued, “There is reason to believe that these records would be relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation, including by providing identification information about the perpetrators.”

The difference I guess is the older kids getting into what you describe
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

what is it with incredibly racist JAQoffs and having Pug in their name. Is this like an epic bacon narwhal thing?
There's tons of work to be done to make it a modern system competitive with other nations in terms of technology, cleanliness, speed, etc., but it's not to the level of unsafe and falling apart. I'm just a little defensive because this is exactly how people who want to gut transit describe it, and its over-sensationalized.
