A New Future for Icanhazip

Chinese originated spam and abuse is so outrageously widespread, I don’t understand why there isn’t a conversation going on about cutting them off from the wider internet. They blocked most of it anyway.

It stands to reason that an especially large volume of abuse will originate from the most populous country in the world. I don't think that's a reason to cut them off from the global Internet. If it's true that their government is already oppressing their own people (I don't know what's truth and what's propaganda), then the rest of us shouldn't make it worse for those people by cutting off whatever outside connections they manage to have.

Also, I'm generally bothered by comments like this one that stir up the general human tendency toward xenophobia. We should be fighting that tendency within ourselves, not fighting the out group. Whichever group of people we want to demonize, we should remember that they're people just like us. We shouldn't punish the majority of them for what a minority are doing to us.

sorry but this opinion is ridiculous on its face. Blaming china because of population is a complete joke. China (by a large margin), Russia, and poorly configured proxies are 95% of all malicious traffic targeting US-based businesses. It's not even a question.

If you run a small-medium sized business in the US blocking all of countries you can't do business with anyway will save a ton of trouble.
