There are alternatives such as cutting the internet cable or requiring insurance on all cross jurisdictional transactions.
- nradov 1y agoThose are not alternatives. VPNs and botnets already exist. We have minimal practical ability to control Internet traffic or transactions between most foreign countries. All it takes is a single compromised device in the USA for the scam traffic to get through.
- throwaway48476 1y agoThere are very few transatlantic cables that carry all of the internet. It would be very easy to cut them. VPNs don't make any difference.
- nradov 1y agoCome on, be serious. No one is going to cut any transatlantic cables just to prevent scams. VPNs make a huge difference: as long as you can get a route out somewhere then you can use a VPN (possibly to a compromised host) to make your traffic appear to be coming from another source.
- throwaway48476 1y agoYou can't VPN on a non existent path. Or bomb them. All it takes is an actual desire to stop scammers.
