This is a feature hundreds of millions of people will use and very likely won't cause any security issues. These doomsday scenarios every Linux user here is predicting is a bit much, don't you think so?
Oh it WILL cause security issues. It's just a tradeoff against if they are worth the benefits.
There likely won't be anything major while 1. 4 billion people will benefit. Security measures will be adapted for this new feature.
This same thing happened before, a lot of panic for nothing.
Define "new security measures"
I don't know. We will both be able to discover them when the features are deployed.
This is a senseless hysteria about how this is horrible and... I don't even want to go into all the dumb shit I read.
