There's An Awful Lot Of Fraud Online
from the be-scared dept
The FBI has unveiled a dramatic report telling us (oh no!) there's a lot of fraud online. That's in case you didn't know it. But, don't worry, the FBI is here to protect us (especially those of us in California - which is where the fraudsters are hoarding all the power or something). I think it's good that the FBI is looking to stop fraud, but I get scared whenever they start talking about the internet because they consistently seem to misunderstand it.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
