Maybe the people working at YouTube still have a moral and ethical responsibility to minimize the spread of disinformation.

As a consultant, I've seen a fair share of people building their own "ultra-secure" authentication, authorization, and encryption algorithms. One project simply took plain-text passwords, Base64-encoded them, reversed the result, and called the passwords "encrypted". Plenty of others would execute raw SQL without validating user input. This is an education problem.

Last winter we saw Ruby on Rails vulnerabilities that likely came about because the focus of the Rails framework has not traditionally been security. Rails is "optimized for programmer happiness". I'm cool with that, just know what you're getting in to when you choose to adopt a new framework (stay up to date with security patches and otherwise secure and monitor your web servers as best as you can). Any new framework that becomes widely adopted will likely go through the same type of problems.

With all of that said, I learned nothing about code security until I had to. University did not really touch on it, so most of my education on security came later in a workplace setting when I desperately needed it.

Or... Have people use whatever they want so long as they are able to communicate their ideas, and move the focus to ensuring that they understand how software development works. You can teach syntax much more easily than you can train someone to think like a programmer.

That was meta.
