[anti-abuse-wg] Bulletproof servers causing mischief on the internet

Over a decade ago, a friend (then working at a large national telecom regulator) told me that industry self regulation works best, and that if the government was forced to step in and regulate, neither industry nor government would be happy with the results.   Looks like that saying seems to be coming true.

Hi Hank

Thanks for this: It's pure gold.

I sometimes think this WG is held prisoner by a hand full of people,
which are the ones that then whine in five years because the EU will put
a stop at this on their terms. Here in Switzerland more and more anti
abuse legislation is enacted because some providers just won't move.

Best
Serge
