There's a fine line between deserving of being scammed because of who they are and consequences of actions or inaction and it's important we do not cross that line.

People have to take some responsibility to think critically about the content they consume. If people are not capable of consuming content responsibly, perhaps they should not consume content at all.

The alternative is policing content itself, and that is a very dangerous place to be for a whole host of other reasons.

And how do you propose to block them from it? Do you think the corporations that create that content care if their consumers are responsible?
