One solution to an arms race is labelling bad actors. If site XYZ keeps trying to find a workaround, maybe there's a way to label them as such to the consumers?

- youareostriches 7y agoThis is already the solution that Apple takes using their app store review process.
- saagarjha 7y agoLabelling bad actors is a fundamentally abusable process from both sides: those doing the labelling have a massive amount of control, and those being labelled are in a constant arms race to fix their image via something that isn't currently labelled as "bad". Consider if Apple blocked Facebook from their browser today: Apple would very likely (and probably rightly) be called a monopolist, while Facebook would probably reincorporate under TotallyNotFacebook or something similar or seek to find another loophole in the labelling process.
