This is an overly simplistic view that does not reflect reality in 2025.

The simple reality is that if you don't want to put something online, then don't put it online. If something should be behind locked doors, then put it behind locked doors. Don't do the dance of promising to have something online, then stop legitimate users when they request it. That's basically what a lot of "spam blockers" do -- they block a ton of legitimate use as well.
