And this is how it should be with all monetary punishments.

But nowadays, a lot of people use the same credentials on the phone just as well, and with everything asking to install their app, I’m not sure the attack surface really is smaller anymore. So, if you’re in this scenario, I agree with you that you may not be sacrificing much by having 2FA on desktop.
This makes sense and puts holes in my statement. I also feel like more people are willing to install shady stuff on their phones than their desktop now. I have no sources for this though.
The way I looked at it, it’s no different than having a mobile device with a password manager on it, because if someone steals your mobile device, they have access to everything as well. So the two-factor authentication apps shouldn’t be on desktop argument never made sense to me, mobile is the same way.
That is true. And more phones are stolen now than computers. Computers can have the same security and encryption if properly configured.
Even though you make a logical point, something in my gut doesn't feel right.
I did more research and you are correct.
15 U.S. Code § 52 - Dissemination of false advertisements - (a) Unlawfulness - It shall be unlawful for any person, partnership, or corporation to disseminate, or cause to be disseminated, any false advertisement—.
Okay. Good.
The term “false advertisement” means an advertisement, other than labeling, which is misleading in a material respect; and in determining whether any advertisement is misleading, there shall be taken into account (among other things) not only representations made or suggested by statement, word, design, device, sound, or any combination thereof, but also the extent to which the advertisement fails to reveal facts material in the light of such representations or material with respect to consequences which may result from the use of the commodity to which the advertisement relates under the conditions prescribed in said advertisement, or under such conditions as are customary or usual.
Good. Good.
if such violation is with intent to defraud or mislead, be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not more than $5,000 or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment;
No! No! No! So a corporation can just pay $5,000 and throw a designer, who was only following directions, under a bus?!
Hmm... I'm not sure about having an authenticator app on a desktop computer.
Like you are putting all your eggs in one basket. Password managers, and your emails already go to one place for authentication. Adding an authenticator means if your computer is compromised, a person can have access to more accounts.
I always figured this is why desktop authenticator apps aren't a thing.
Japan has strict laws against using fake images for food.
Why can't the people we vote for represent us?
Continents are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria.

I understand parents can't be around their children 24/7. Companies and organizations have a lot of products already to restrict and limit internet access. Schools and libraries should use these tools as they or as their community sees fit.
If you want to compare it to tobacco products, the main difference is to identify as an adult all you need is an ID. One person at the cashier sees it and it's done. Online activity is more personal. It allows companies and social media to be even more toxic to adults by being able to identify adults better.
Also kids, no matter how restricted it is, will smoke if they wanted to. The same will happen with these social media restrictions excepts that adults will suffer. This will be only the beginning. More and more restrictions will come from this. That's just how governments work.
Red flags should go up automatically with these "save the children" laws.
Parenting should stay with parents. The more power the government gets, the more they will abuse it. When companies are restricted, they will see this as an opportunity to better identify adults better.
I think Docker had an option to use Apple's VM over the Docker one. I think they were trying to say builtin
Yeah. You have great points. A lot easier to wipe a device that is actively connected. Laptops don't usually have that luxury. It is a lot easier to take apart a laptop. It is easier to plug in a USB HID for brute forcing or to constantly move a pointer to prevent it from going to sleep.
I guess that's the feeling in my gut.
Thank you for your input.
