If the internet is in fact "the largest social media platform", then anonymity absolutely has to go as my public-facing telemetry server [0] based on DNS as a transport, and not rooted to the ICANN DNS tree, gets 1000+ abusive requests for every legitimate one. I'm supposed to return REFUSED to each and every one [1] of them (not drop them) and I'm not supposed to publish the IP addresses involved. Granted they could be spoofed, but the only way we'll ever know is to go ahead and publish so that a global picture can be developed and the owners of the addresses can tell us that they're being spoofed.

[0] One of the pieces of telemetry is the addresses abusing the server.

[1] I, and many other operators violate this stability requirement and drop traffic. [2]

[2] There are no internet police. If there were then BCP 38 would be enforced and this particular problem would largely go away.
