Replying to myself as HN won't let me reply to the post by 'nailer > If there is a specific network being leveraged by the US government to attack someone else, and the owner of the network is not taking steps to prevents its misuse, then yes, of course. We have documented evidence of GCHQ doing man-on-the-side attacks against visitors of LinkedIn and slashdot.org. So are you currently blocking the prefixes of LinkedIn and SourceForge, Inc. on your networks? Or are you aware of any specific acts of these companies to prevent this from being possible in the future? I worry about mass surveillance and national firewalls no matter where they come from, but I don't think balkanising the internet is a good response.
