How many times does this have to happen before China's privileges to do things like this get revoked? At this point, it can't be just a mistake and must be some state-sponsored hacking. Seems like a great way to find out where a particular Spotify user's IP address is.
- QML 8y agoWhat are you going to do? Divide the internet in half? I say that in a joking way but it’s a possibility.
- LinuxBender 8y agoThere is already a wall. This may be a case of something leaking through it.
- tinus_hn 8y agoYou don’t need to cut the internet in half to limit China to routing IP adresses that are allocated to China.
- QML 8y agoIIRC, Google can try to dictate a BGP policy that says not to accept any routes that goes through China. However, without any verification checks (via cryptography), an entity can lie about the path that they are advertising.
- tinus_hn 8y agoNo, the peers just outside of China can choose to reject advertisements of Google by China. Google can’t do much.
- est 8y ago> China's privileges to do things like this get revoked By revoking China's privileges, you reinventing the Great Firewall. Or at least part of how it works, by "revoking routing privilege of selected IP ranges." You know what, that's the narrative of China's wall building proposal in the place. To end USA's "Internet supremacy" and to advocate "Internet sovereignty".
