- lagniappe 3y agoYou know, at some point, in the interest of a free internet we should consider whether penalizing the mostly-benevolent-cogs along the way is the right way to go about it. It's not like someone operating that service is specifically consenting to every packet that flows through them so it shouldn't be treated in a court room as if they gave their explicit blessing for whatever malfeasance came to happen. I don't accept the argument that by attempting to benefit the common good that one must be responsible for what happens or how that's used. Many items and actions of good will can be weaponized, in ways that the media finds odious like the things you mentioned, but nobody comes after the cell phone operators, the ISPs, they attack the weak link that cant afford representation in court - the solo and small operators. It's stupid and I'm surprised it fools the voter base in the current epoch.
- jve 3y agoThe moment you give someone an opportunity to create outbound connection to port 25 from your IP, you are certainly risking (well, guaranteeing) those IPs to be listed at various blocklists. And you will be the one that will have to deal with abuse complaints.
- cdchn 3y agoUnfortunately its intractable to separate oblivious rubes from willing accomplices. Thankfully we have common carrier protection laws that people can argue they're protected by or not.
- KomoD 3y agoYeah, that's a huge issue. Like, just look at Playit.gg, they have issues with both ip blacklists and domain blacklists (+ safe browsing warnings) T-Mobile is a big one that apparently blocks their ip ranges.
