> If there is a series of buttons you can press to circumvent the anti-scam measures, then the scammers simply walk you through pressing those buttons. If you cover them in giant warning labels the scammers simply add explanations into their patter. The buttons must physically not exist, for gullible people to not get scammed out of money.

We shouldn't be protecting someone that gullible at the expense of everyone else who is smart enough to actually read whats on the screen and not fall for such simple scams.

Not that long ago most of this forum was very much against giving up freedoms in favor of catering to the lowest common denominator. What happened?

People need to take responsibility for their own actions and educate themselves, not rely on a lack of freedom to protect them.
