> Is denial of service not a security thing any more?

It is, but only when a big corp isn't doing it. X is allowed to deny you service without an account and Reddit is allowed to deny you service without uploading your personal documents to Persona.

That’s not what denial of service is.

  • what about when big companies drown the web with crawling activity, forcing webmasters to implement fingerprinting and thus massively delaying actual users from accessing webpages that would otherwise load instantly?
