@vfrmedia @gettie Point is that #Telco regulations stems from #Telegraphy and #Postal operations, and whilst there are legitimate reasons for #regulators to disconnect phone lines (otherwise #robocalling and #SMS-#Spam would be even more rampant than #eMail-#Spamming!)

• Which OFC also intertwines with "#LawfulInterception" and the means of Governments to exercise control.
  • So anything claiming #security must inherently acknowledge the unfixable #insecurity of the #PSTN and completely cease using it and it's per-design compromised Infrastructure as a matter of principle.

That's why any "#secure communications" treats it as a hostile network and not to be trusted!

• And that's not even scratching the surface that countries try to outlaw #anonymity - starting with #Prepaid - #SIM - Cards.
  • Because those traditionally had no reason for "#KYC" as there was no means for a customer to incur #debt or commit #fraud against the telco that provided said services, so there was [and IMHO still is] no "legitimate interest" in demanding any #ID for those, as any crime committed would be investigated with the existing #Govware inside the networks and thus found out.

@carolina ja, und wegen sowas - samt #Spamming der #WHOIS-Einträge - rate ich von #GoDaddy ab.

• Zumal die sich auch konsequent weigern, #AbuseReports zu bearbeiten!

Ich kann #ClouDNS empfehlen weil dort kann mensch quasi alles editieren!

@rayglittersoft At least #IRCs that I know of have proper #moderation tools to prevent #spamming and shit like #CSAM links.

• It's really fucking sad to see that by all accounts I could get from folks in the day that even #AnonOps's #IRC was more able and willing to swing the #BanHammer.

Cuz #discord doesn't remove messages from #banned / deleted users, and instead let repeat offenders stay against wrongful claims by the then-CEO, so accounts with 240+ recorded cases of CSAM distribution remain on the platform and not get banned with something that no legitimate hoster would accept.

• And with "legit" I mean even stuff like #CyberBunker because CSAM is something everyone but #ClownFlare and #RBN will not just fire clients, but turn *them and their data in to law enforcement just to evidently not being an accomplice in said crime!

@can @daniel since #Spamming is illegal in #Germany but #Cops won't do shit, I just look up their next competitior, ask them if they want to send the offender a costly cease and decist and if so provide them with evidence that this was indeed #ColdMailing.

• Sadly noone ever offered me a cut in return...

#FuckTheSystem = #LetThemFight each other!

@txtechnician @gattaca I mean, #FaxSpam is a real thing.

But like #SMS #Spamming and #Robocalling it's not much of a concern in #Germany because @BNetzA quickly terminates offending numbers.

@Dendrobatus_Azureus personally, I think it's high time that #ISPs will force customers to take #ITsec seriously and terminate connections upon abuse reports.

Not that I'd take #AbuseReports by #RogueISP|s like #CloudFlare serious anyway but I've yet to find any #ISP that doesn't allow them to terminate services at any time without warning if the services are used against their ToS and every #B2C / #consumer ISP explicitly bans #DDoS, #malware distribution and #hacking in said Terms of Service.

• And yes I've seen cases where ISPs (most notably #DTAG) did terminate connectivity following a malware infection and #Spamming from a consumer's #DSL line.

Sounds harsh but #LackOfAccountability & #LackOfConsequences got us here!
