AFAIK most of the victims actually fall for social engineering in combination with legit apps. If you force developer registration criminals will simply find other attack vectors.

You are restricting a fundamental digital right in exchange for a minuscule reduction in risk.

This is doubleplusungood. The war on General Purpose Computing is the death of innovation and a direct attack on digital freedom.

I have a different reading -- I see the Minds having a very strong moral imperative to give every sentient creature the best possible life, both in a material and psychological way. I see them more like very dedicated servants with god-like powers.

Equal in a sense that every sentient being (silicon- or carbon-based) is considered a valuable part of society with the same fundamental rights of any other part.

Ian M. Bank's The Culture universe is such a future, which I think is attainble in a few millennia.

Powerful super-human AI minds will eventually and inevitably take over; which I think is fine provided they recognize all sentient beings as equals.
