  • pozzed by companies
    • pay to play or have domain highjacked by adds once traffic increases
    • piratebay domain wars
    • numerous known malware domains exist for years
    • few implement security 'properly'
      • wildcard cert pinning with BGP route hijack protection (crypto exchange was attacked by this)

      • cloudflare takes law into own handles despite claims of being 'impartial'
        • extortion racket for ddos protection

          • allows 'stressers', malware, doxing for hire services to remain in perpetuity
