DDoS is the antithesis to an open and free internet from a free market perspective because it drives people to a few select providers for hosting and CDN services. In the end, the big players in those spaces who have the bandwidth win. It's not so much about who has the best innovation either as DDoS tends to be all about brute-force.
- specialist 11y agoDDoS is the very exemplar of Freedom Markets (tm). Probably its defining quality. Functioning healthy markets require regulation, protection of property rights, fair and impartial court system, enforcement, etc, etc. In other words, just like there's no free lunch, there's no such thing as "free markets".
