jacquesm is known to give pretty exhaustive answers ;) I knew it wasn't an easy question, but the article seemed to indicate that at least some parties do indiscriminate blocking which struck me as rather dumb. Hence the question.
- Arnt 8y agoSome parties (including myself at one point in the past) block with low cost. Suppose you're a microservice that does caching, fast-track authentication or similar. If you block a user, that user will have to spend several or even many seconds on reauthentication and/or cache refreshing, but that's the whole cost. Is your proper threshold for blocking high or low?
