They can, it just takes extra steps and so probably won’t happen as nobody is likely to run a coordinated campaign to do it.

How would it work? I mean, I can imagine framing me for a felony and getting me banned from internet access as part of my sentence, but are there less extreme procedures?

EDIT: Maybe breaking into my email server and sending out spam to poison my IP. That’s conceivable, and would partially ban me from sending out email.

DDOS, reporting your server/domain for TOS violations, etc.

As long as nobody cares enough to do it, it probably won’t happen.

Just never piss off the wrong person.

That said, how much costs ddos?
