Oh, yeah, you could totally upload nasty pictures. What I’m questioning is the original claim that people have been using these mechanisms to trigger automatic internet censorship systems to kick people off game servers.

Place was hit by a tsunami and evacuated, leaving behind a bunch of rapidly declining real estate and no services. Not a super attractive place to return to. But yeah, people did return in the end.

Can you actually show a documented example of this? I strongly suspect this is a myth akin to the common reddit copypasta supposed to trigger Chinese filters (and that one is way more likely to work, at least it’s HTTP traffic).

Are you perhaps mistakenly attributing deaths caused by the (now known to have been unnecessary) evacuation from Fukushima to the reactor meltdown?

That's been happening for ... decades? It's not unusual that the "heated seats" option just gets you a button, the heating elements are often installed regardless.

The US mostly can't do that, but EU countries have the European Arrest Warrant mechanism which more or less does allow them to do this by bypassing normal extradition procedures. It's way harder for someone in the US to have you g

Everything is mostly normal, you can still find 5000 euro bottles of Petrus in the (no longer 24 hour) supermarket. Even the curfew feels more or less normal, it’s not too long ago they had the same for COVID.

“DNS abuse” in that context means “people pointing DNS records at servers with content I don’t like :(“ Unlike the name suggests, this has nothing to do with actual abuse of the domain name system.

Your mistake is thinking that abuse reports you send can truly measurably reduce abuse. It’s not true! Any IP address you see in your logs has almost certainly already had a ton of automated abuse reports sent about it.

Abuse emails might occasionally work, but that hardly answers the question. Abuse emails can be useful to the recipient. Abuse emails do not benefit the sender in any way, there is no return on investment. It's just particularly unimpa
