Yeah, that's great until you're a european citizen who needs to access a government service while travelling in the US, or living in French Guyana, or any amount of exceptions to your clever idea.

If you travel to places unwilling to enforce basic rules of civility you should be willing to suffer additional consequences, rather than having the entirety of Europe continue to suffer because we are unwilling to do the right thing, which is to put an end to the far west of the internet.

Countries unwilling to sign regulations that would have them lock up scammers/DDoS botters and other toxic e-criminal, or unwilling to enforce their own laws when they exist, should not be allowed to continue to pollute the internet at large. Block them until they learn their lesson.

In the west, you can and will lose your access to the internet even if you are not doing this sort of shit on purpose but have an infected computer. See for example : https://it.slashdot.org/story/05/04/13/0320249/major-aussie-...

We enforce the rules on our own citizens, why are we tolerating this level of criminal traffic from China, India, and, the worst of them all, Russia, the country through which we are very much fighting a proxy war right now in funding Ukraine?

We can send missiles to kill russians but we can't cut them from the internet at large ? Really?

Internet access is not a human right. Just like driving on the roads is not a human right and terrible drivers get their license revoked.

I guess you could offer travelers a captcha. Also note that the fourth point didn't prohibit proxies in all cases, just proxying for bad things.

Also confirming that banning foreign traffic is the go-to eGovernment without CAPTCHA experience in Bulgaria.
