The people behind Cloudflare spend all day, every day trying to solve these kinds of problems. They're just not as simple as you make it sound.

I didn't say it was simple. I said I thought it was more achievable than "it can't be done."

I suspect one of the barriers to it being done is that it's not a top requirement like I assert it should be, for basic resources of society.

When led with that requirement, I have faith that some smart engineers and product management can figure it out.

With apologies to JFK, "We do these things, not because they are easy, but because--" they need doing. Even if they are hard.

I doubt a single person in Cloudflare would claim it can't be done.
The people behind Cloudflare engineer this issue for profit, which is a very different motive than to "solve" the problem.

The people most interested in doing away with the problem altogether are not Cloudflare, but its customers.
