> The current web demands deanonymization. And naturally "abuse" is blamed

I used to work at a smallish mom-and-pop website host (do those even exist anymore?) that also offered email services. Our PF firewall just straight-up blocked huge swaths of IPv4 CIDRs because it was 99% email spam and exploit scanners. We had no ability whatsoever to fight it any other way. I don't recall even a single complaint from any of our customers.

Well, there are two different reasons you might not have received any complaints...

  • What are the two different reasons?

    • Nobody had a complaint to lodge because none of the emails were legitimate, or they had no means of contacting them because the were completely blocked, presumably.
