The one thing I never understood about these warnings is how they don't run afoul of libel laws. They are directly calling you a scammer and "attacker". The same for Microsoft with their unknown executables.

They used to be more generic saying "We don't know if its safe" but now they are quite assertive at stating you are indeed an attacker.

Imagine if you bought a plate at Walmart and any time you put food you bought elsewhere on it, it turned red and started playing a warning about how that food will probably kill you because it wasn't Certified Walmart Fresh™

Now imagine it goes one step further, and when you go to eat the food anyway, your Walmart fork retracts into its handle for your safety, of course.

No brand or food supplier would put up with it.

That's what it's like trying to visit or run non-blessed websites and software coming from Google, Microsoft, etc on your own hardware that you "own".

This is the future. Except you don't buy anything, you rent the permission to use it. People from Walmart can brick your carrots remotely even when you don't use this plate, for your safety ofc
