The only correct solution to spam and abuse is to empower governments to charge people with offences when they commit them. This means national isolation, since the US can't extradite a fraudster in Russia and vice versa.
Aggregation and discoverability is easy. Talk to people. Don't think about publishing, think about being part of a community.
Monetisation can be solved by doing it the old-fashioned way. Standards aren't necessary; just make it possible to do small anonymous transactions. Don't ask them to log in and sign up before you'll take their money. Just take their money. Internet busking.
- ketzu 6y agoNot all spam is illegal, neither do I think it should be. National isolation would therefore not solve the problem entirely (if even for the most part) nor is it usually a desireable solution. How do you find that community? Discoverability is a huge problem and word of mouth is by far not enought to replace search engines. Your proposal to monetization seems to be an approach that hasn't succeeded in any way on the internet, despite people trying various ways. My personal feeling on the tasks is that your solutions are not very helpful to tackle any of those problems.
