This might just be the 'first arrow' from the SEC with much more to be added
    down the track, but it's interesting to see that they have gone in heavily
    on defrauding equity investors in the FTX business -- rather than pulling
    the rug on customers.

Isn't that the same approach that federal prosecutors took with Theranos as well? From what I understand, Elizabeth Holmes went to jail for defrauding her investors, not providing false test results to patients. I think the SEC's reasoning here is the same — investor fraud is easier to prove, so hit the fraudster with that charge first.

I feel I'm getting close to the point where I'm just going to start disabling CSS and JS for normal web browsing, only whitelisting certain sites that 1. I have to use and 2. Simply don't work at all without CSS/JS. IMO browsers have abandoned their role as the "user's agent" and handed over entirely too much control over style, presentation and function to web developers. The fact that you need plugins, extensions, adblocks, bookmarklets, and so on, just to regain this control should be troubling but I guess progress has to march on.

I know I'm in the tiny minority here and firmly in the "yelling at the clouds" territory, but I really wish we could go back to the simpler times of the web being hyperTEXT documents linked together and that's it.
