    @j9t@mas.to I believe CSS can be misused. Features that exist so that some things are possible in the appropriate context are used inappropriately, either intently or through ignorance: truncation (text-overflow), disabling user interactions (user-select, pointer-events), and other user-hostile touches. It’s interesting to think about how mitigation at the browser level could look like.
