ah yes, one of the losers from that vile website sent me a comment i didn’t bother reading.

although that vile website has caused substantive harm to several friends and colleagues over the years, my objection to the EFF publishing this irresponsible take is that they are attempting to erode the right of network operators to enforce their policies, which will result in a much less secure internet.

as somebody who was a CTO of a reasonably sized NSP, this is not the outcome we want as a society. if every single takedown had to be adjudicated, illegal activities such as spam operations, malware distribution and CSAM distribution would take considerably longer to shut down than they already do, while tangible harms from these operations would continue for much longer.

did EFF blast Microsoft for shutting down various botnet control infrastructure? no.
