Is it possible to allow sideloading and keep users safe?

> Here's the story of a bank literally telling a man he was being scammed and he still proceeded to transfer funds to a fraudster.

Y'know, at some point the cost of protecting the dumbest people is too much to be worth it. I am perfectly fine with some people getting hacked, doxxed and scammed out of their life savings if the alternative is everyone losing their freedoms.

Freedoms are important because without them people with power go unchecked more and more. It's a slow process but it culminates in 1) dictatorship at the state level 2) exploitation at the corporate level.

Frankly, I think this sort of behavior in a non-senile person constitutes disability, and I think it demonstrates societal failure to provide people with disabilities with support structures. Where was a friend or family, why was this guy operating a bank account to begin with?
