      take the resources from them so they don’t have them anymore. infiltrating the teams that do this and exposing or sabotaging the effort. literally fighting back, possibly in ways that involve giving the CEO’s and prominent investors a free trip to an old coal mine.

      what would be the solution?

      Simple, not allowing anonymous activity. If everything was required to be crypto-graphically signed in such a way that it was tied to a known entity then this could be directly addressed. It’s essentially the same problem that e-mail has with SPAM and not allowing anonymous traffic would mostly solve that problem as well.

      Of course many internet users would (rightfully) fight that solution tooth and nail.

        No, that’s not a solution, since it would make privacy impossible and bad actors would still find ways around.

        Proof of work before connections are established. The Tor network implemented this in August of 2023 and it has helped a ton.

          PoW uses a lot of electricity on the client side so environmentally it’s a poor solution, especially at scale.
