     @thomasfuchs @codinghorror I think media literacy is important and people would benefit from thinking about what they see online instead of relying on technology to do it for them.

     @Gargron @codinghorror if we IT people do our jobs right the average user shouldn’t have to think about these things

     @thomasfuchs @codinghorror Am I permitted to lament that no media literacy can in fact be expected from the average user today?

     @Gargron @codinghorror Yes, they would, however building inherently safe systems and media literacy aren’t mutually exclusive
