I disagree. This is a Whack-A-Mole game, and that means a societal solution is required.

Compare with spam. Technological solutions have reduced the problem, but to virtually eliminate it requires global law enforcement.

Any evidence that law enforcement could virtually eliminate spam?
Severe dents have been put in spam production when specific individual senders were shut down.
Temporary things. Same happens with illegal drugs when key people get killed. Does not mean the war on drugs needs more law enforcement to win...
