What's the reasoning for fining someone for leaving stuff available? Should self-hosting a site be made illegal? If not, how do you distinguish the two?



Unsecured cameras, internet facing lights, etc. It's not like leaving the home door open, which harms only me. Those devices can be used to harm others. IMHO fines for customers will lead to more secure devices, by design.


Ooooo and we can fine them for leaving doors unlocked, and for not being inside after curfew!


I explicitly wrote this is not the case.
