[Crito]

I'm not saying that scams in "cyberspace" don't present a greater threat than scams in "meatspace". I'm just pointing out that if you cannot protect people from themselves in "meatspace", then doing it in "cyberspace" is futile. You can fight it and cut back on it, but you will never actually win that fight. Technological problems to what is ultimately a sociological problem only go so far, and we should be careful to not obsess over them to a fault.

And yet, in "meatspace", chainsaws come with more safety mechanisms than butter knives because the damage they can do is so much larger. Yes, we can't win that fight; people will die from chainsaw accidents, but I disagree that we shouldn't be more vigilant about chainsaws than about butter knives.
