What is his solution to combatting botnets at scale?

  His solution is don't. Why would you? In fact, if you don't block the script that's running on one computer, the script operator won't need to run it on a botnet. I don't know RMS's solution to spam or DDoS which are the real problems.

    > Why would you? Because controlling a large number of accounts can allow you to manipulate the algorithms on Web2.0 websites. For example, this one. If you don’t combat spammers the front page quickly gets filled up with garbage.

  His solution would be taking democracy and freedom above interest of couple of botnet attacked websites.

    What does that even mean? I don’t mean to be rude but every single person who references RMS here seems to only have platitudes rather than solutions.
