As long as you don't create a false sense of security for yourself. Flash (and Java) get all the headlines and sometimes deservedly so but the web is unsafe unless the user is vigilant. Vigilance is more than just disabling stuff, well unless you are talking about 'disabling' everything living totally offline.
If some body or a group of people are really serious about an issue that arises from this they can take eBay to court for the EULA itself. If I bury a line in my product EULA that I have the right kill all users and (even) 1% miss it and accept the EULA it doesn't mean it can stand in a court of law.
Google has passed the threshold where a company starts making decisions, just for the sake of it, that are not enhancing their customer's experience. Everything from new products that are scratched months later to dropping the + operator point to redundant internal meetings just for the sake of it.
The issue is those who are supposedly riled up should and must be riled up on the other points you bring up (court allowing things, etc.) too. So your point while not invalid is not valid either;)
I am sure I will lose some of my positive karma on this one but nevertheless...Are those not watching Fox News doing that much of a better job? Looking at the world that's highly questionable in my opinion
You deduced 'always' from my one liner? Any way...No. to answer your question
The point is there is plenty of evidence that it is happening, varying degrees of urgency or lack thereof does not change the overall message and science
Hopefully reports like this are taken as good news not fuel for the skeptics and deniers. Good news because we have a better chance and perhaps more time at managing with increased CO2
I am more and more convinced that the type of people who are on Facebook, let alone those who actually will use messages, are not the types to know or be savvy enough for torrents and similar activities
The thing with your points is that the precedents set before (ala MS).
If 'users are free' was a defense there would be little point in investigations or inquiries of this sort. The same certainly goes with 'Set the terms'.
The Flash issue is may be something 'users know what they are getting into' and that depends on who those users are.

If only Toyota was a Russian company a certain famous, oft (over) used joke would have been almost too easy

Universe aligning to all vs Google
Can't have an article about IE6 or older, just by showing screen shots you will get virus, spyware and just pure ugliness

Yes skepticism is good but don't confuse ideology hidden behind skepticism. Critical eye, of course always

Exaggerated threats from relatively weak entities. Questionable need in 1950 never mind 2010.
And by that time Chrome will be at version 12 or 13
Top million site icons? can't be right if all are not pron favicons...
