I would say that this is nothing special as I've seen this tool 'attack' a lot of different services. It sometimes even comes to the point where it is so annoying that I end up sending a few reports.

It is very hard to keep major sites that are based on user-generated content to be totally free of malware or viruses.
I remember cases of malware  being disguised as apps in google store, and many chrome extensions were reported to be 'dangerous'.

There is a fine balance between censorship and freedom. It is ultimately the users of the internet to protect themselves from scams and phishing attempts.

People are worried about the user-generated content, but what about the proprietary software that it was built on or the OS it is running on. Companies like Google and Microsoft has been data mining for years and we do not know, where this data ends up and what government sanctioned projects have been going on behind closed doors.

You have no privacy and your data is being collected without your consent, whether you like it or not. Deal with it.

if you are looking for better privacy there is always solutions for that. for example you can stop using windows, especially windows 10 which has built in Microsoft made keylogger for snooping around and collecting data.
