This headline strikes me as a shift burdening users themselves with finding bad actors. Even the statement from e.g. Twitter, make it seems so:
"We think it’s important for people to be aware that this exists out there and that they review the apps that they use to connect to their accounts,” said Lindsay McCallum, a Twitter spokeswoman."
But I would argue that users who fall for these nefarious services should not be the lookout. Instead the trust should be placed on teams at Facebook and Twitter that vet the bad actors, e.g. oneAudience.
I understand vulnerabilities abound and moderation is hard, and educating users is important. I'm just irked a bit that the accountability is shifted here.
