At that point it almost sounds like we're doing "peering" agreements at the IP level.

Would it make sense to have a class of ISPs that didn't peer with these "bad" network participants?



If this didn’t happen for spam, it’s not going to happen for crawlers.


Why not just ban all IP blocks assigned to cloud providers? Won't halt botnets but the IP range owned by AWS, GCP, etc is well known


But my work's VPN is in AWS, and HN and Reddit are sometimes helpful...

Not sure what my point is here tbh. The internet sucks and I don't have a solution


Tricky to get a list of all cloud providers, all their networks, and then there are cases like CATO Networks Ltd and ZScaler, which are apparently enterprise security products that route clients traffic through their clouds "for security".


Because crawlers would then just use a different IP which isn’t owned by cloud vendors.
