The argument made in several comments that this will result in SWATing isn't cited because it's an opinion on potential future events. A counter opinion, therefore, also would not need citation.

There's also no citation for that claim.

I don't think that'd counter the author's point.

> Nobody here has provided any actual clash with the argument.

Per Brandolini's law, I wouldn't advise anyone to lose energy over this article.

Neither is criticizing the media for a hypothetical scenario that didn't happen.

It’s a personal opinion, citation is not required.

You didn't cite anything in your comments, either.

jodrellblank | karma 12920 | avg karma 1.96 · | 2020-08-10 17:43:29+00:00

No claim of “necessary” was made which needs refuting.

jquery | karma 2581 | avg karma 1.25 · | 2022-08-11 10:22:29

The article does not make such a claim.

barsonme | karma 1675 | avg karma 2.45 · | 2022-06-23 16:14:00

The author of the comment did not imply this.

cscurmudgeon | karma 2720 | avg karma 1.34 · | 2021-01-13 23:04:45+00:00

There was no argument in the first place other than a disputed comment.

colonwqbang | karma 2093 | avg karma 3.76 · | 2020-09-17 20:05:27+00:00

But no arguments were cited in the comment, there was only a John Oliver name drop.

> No one has expressed concern so far.

The article is an expression of concern. It also cites three court cases to show that it matters.

None of the counterexamples you tried to give are actually in the article.

No evidence was presented in that comment, other than evidence of political bias.

dsfyu404ed never commented or implied on what should happen. He simply stated what might happen, and why it might happen.

> and no precedents were set in this situation.

Time will tell.

The actual argument was not critiqued, so yes.

Sure, they didn't cite CrowdStrike, but there's no extra information in that report other than what came from CrowdStrike's report.

baobabKoodaa | karma 4773 | avg karma 2.88 · | 2021-01-18 06:42:30

The article does not make such claims.
