yeah that's pretty typical of any sort of "tradeable currency" digital or not, these sites are all hosted in countries with favorable laws, and in places where it's hard to regulate them.

There's shitty people on the internet, should we personally vet and maintain every single user of the internet, or should we just be "moderate" about it. The question of the ages, how much do we actually care about this specific problem.

Look, I agree, that they do many good things for consumer protection. They blocked NFT in games and in game advertisement, but they sit at the center of a damaging marketplace and could stop it, but don't and deserve criticism for that.

and it is fair criticism, i have no problem with that. I'm just not sure it's worth demonizing them over. A lot of companies, even good ones, have bad practices, it's just the way the world works, it's hard to do everything absolutely perfectly.

Again, not trying to justify it, i'm just saying there's a level of expectation i think you need to set.
