MODERATORS
It is always like this. Make a very anti consumer decision that everyone hates, then tone it down so the half of those people will say “we won”. This is a loss.
Reading the article it looks like they found a decent middle ground. It lays out how the steps help prevent people from getting scammed.
The middle ground is the middle ground between user freedom and corporate control. Which is not a spectrum you want to be in the middle of.
This is like getting a pay rise that's below inflation. That's a pay cut. And this is a loss.
