  • I agree i should have used different words, scam-ableism is counter productive to educate about traps.

    I am pretty sure my dad fell for one of these because an ad popt up trying to pay a digital parking meter.

    Though he wasn’t trying to get access to illegal content what people behind this campaign are alluding towards.

    Scams come in so many shapes and forms, there is accidental click and there is “looked like an official Netflix page”. How many people will knowingly pay for something they know is available for free?


  • I went to their website just to have a laugh. This is some real shizo propaganda.

    You could replace all of it with: Only watch self sourced pirated media! Paying and relying on any service has inherent risks

    “1 in 3 (32%) people who illegally stream in the UK say they, or someone they know, have been a victim of fraud, scams, or identity theft as a result.”

    320/1000 people know someone unlucky enough to fall for a scam.

    This risk increases significantly when users exchange credit or debit card information to view content on unregulated and illicit websites.

    If you pay for your pirated content you are doing it wrong.

    Watching content via an illicit source can expose younger viewers to age-inappropriate content. These unauthorised websites, devices, apps, add-ons, and the content they can access have no parental controls.

    My kids get a tablet exclusively pointing to a private media server in order to obtain the parental controls for-profit services just don’t provide. I banned YouTube kids, it was a shitfest.
