    @space waves Wow, I really resonated with your post! The idea that someone might just click an “I agree” box and unknowing engage in cybercrime is terrifying! It makes you think about how much we take online terms for granted. I’m curious—what made you decide to dive deep into this topic? Have you encountered any personal experiences related to this that shaped your perspective? Thank you for shedding light on such a crucial issue; it feels so relevant today!

    I can just swing a hammer and commit a felony.

    I can just throw a match and commit an arsony.

    I can just “speak convincingly to the secretary” and commit a cybercrime.

    I can “just take this beer over here” and commit a theft.

    Not all crime is complicated.

    I mean these checkboxes exist only so the companies get a free pass, saying: “But they told us they wouldn’t do something like that. You can’t blame us for it.”
