Hi,
Right now, this does *not* work effectively because the internet routes around such censorship attempts and there is no LEA that can reach *everyone* in the world. This policy proposal changes that.
Not really. You would also need laws in each country that force network operators to use RPKI evaluation without applying any whitelisting or exceptions.
If the technology is seen as feasible for legislators (where feasible means: control the Internet from one point (for your own safety, of course).), it's not a very distant thought that they'd go for their own list of bad prefixes that you should/could/MUST drop.
If such laws can exist, laws that do the same according to a government-defined blacklist can also exist.
(Feels like I'm repeating myself here) Such laws *do* exists. Denmark, Italy, from the top of my head, and I'm not even an activist in this matter. Kind Regards, Martin
