if a security threat of that magnitude were in play I doubt the people chasing down charlie kirk's killer would be employing it toward that end. ultimately you simply cannot trust that anything you put into a computer is private or safe. you have to draw the line somewhere, and I don't think worrying about them nuking every IP that connects to their site with a broadly applicable 0-day is a reasonable place to insist they draw it.
yes and that line should be simple and consistent inorder for non-techies to follow.
The line I'm recommending is:
This does not require someone to understand any specific attack vectors or keep track of which sites are how dangerous in these circumstances requiring this level of precaution and so on.
It's not bullet proof but I'm trusting people here understand that a fascist website is untrustworthy and it's better they be overcautious than to try to minmax their security.
i don't think you need to take "additional security measures" to visit a website thrown together by a group of facebook poisoned internet busybodies. the likelihood of a random webpage, fascist run or not, having the kind of exploit that could be performed with just an IP address (or do a driveby i guess?), is almost as low as the likelihood of them blindly dumping it on everybody that loaded their webpage. it's overly-cautious security theater. it's throwing spilled salt over your shoulder to ward off bad luck.
