The job of the police
- unishark 6y agoPolice take reports from victims then what? How do police protect you from a site hosted outside their jurisdiction? I think tech companies deciding what people can access is the most likely endgame no matter what. People will demand protection. Whether it's a great firewall, a whitelist-only internet, ...or just automated filtering like this, which may be the most liberal option we can realistically expect.
- AnthonyMouse 6y agoThe police go and arrest them. This is true even for other jurisdictions. It's not as if there are no police in France or Australia. What you're left with is things hosted out of uncooperative countries like Russia or China. But then shouldn't the block list consist entirely of things hosted out of uncooperative countries like Russia or China? How did this US-hosted business fall victim?

- hansvm 6y agoAt least in the Bay the police can't even stay in the confines of the laws they're sworn to uphold (stop signs, speed limits, not drunkenly swerving into the bike lane I'm inhabiting, ...). What reason do we have to believe they'd handle an unfamiliar problem domain with any better proficiency?
