The clickfarms nowadays already use tons of non modified devices built on racks so I really don't see how it's going to make a dent. Devices are way too cheap

Devices are way too cheap for an attestation system to work to counter bots
- Avamander 3y agoNot only click farms, these devices are also used for SMS toll fraud and other similar attacks. SafetyNet's attestation only helps to the extent that you can ban a specific model/maker.
- realusername 3y agoYes that's basically it, you can ban a specific device but that's like removing water from the ocean with a bucket. Betting on device attestation really means betting that computing devices will become more and more expensive in the future since the device cost is the only blocker created by the attestation. And if there's one thing I'm expecting, it's that's not going to happen, device prices will continue to decline.
