The only thing that makes JSFiddle "worst" is how easy it is, but even then almost anything else is just as easy. If there's money to be made too, unless you block everything that cost less than the money to be made, what you do won't stop it. Why not just put that warning over EVERY single links and not block anything? Do a white list instead. |

Thus any business decision isn't a problem?
Depends on your definition of "problem"... and thus your definition of who should care:
- legally (government): any business devising that comply with law are not a problem
- financially (investors): any decisions that increase profits are not a problem
- morally/ethically (users): any business decisions that you personally are okay with are not a problem.
Each of these has its own correction mechanism: persecution, lack of funding, customer outcry & abandonment.
In other words: there are ways to reverse bad decisions.
The only thing that makes JSFiddle "worst" is how easy it is
As pointed out in other comments, the problem is that anyone can anonymously create a malicious JSFiddle that runs undesired code. You could make a car that any website that similarly allows anonymous code execution should have that warning or be blocked. Most links, however, are better attributable. (Eg, require account creation).
