In the meantime, Google and Amazon simply ignore all complaints about spam originating from their networks.

In the olden days of the internet, ISPs that ignored abuse complaints would be blocked by their peers. Now that Gmail and AWS are too big to block, they act with impunity.

How did we get to equating selling tools for murdering journalists to spam in just three comments?

I don't see where anyone in this thread said that the two are equivalent?

Amazon (and others') pervasive shitty handling of non-DMCA abuse reports seems relevant, however.

This is complicated when you see how non-ethical companies like Lyft are messing with competition I wouldn't be surprised they would flood provider with spam-reports...
