Again, how should the end use know anything about what is going on at their end? How does anyone "vett" that? It is a nonsense "argument" to put blame on the users.

    Where I'm from there's certificates a company can get, that confirm a certain level of process and IT security. Also a company existing for at least 5-10 years without incidents is a "vetted" company in my books. At least anything that managed to produce a working IT system before 2021 when AI came around.

    I believe there's a bit of bad wording going on with the original comment. Take it up with that guy, lol.
