Hello
I am an email system administrator and we receive hundreds of phishing and malware emails every day with the URLs ipfs.io and dweb.link.
I have already reported these emails to abuse@ipfs.io but nothing helps. The URLs are still active.
I’m just wondering why no one at ipfs has any interest in blocking these spammers?
I doubt that there is much that they can do about that since they are just a gateway. Even if they were to blacklist every CID they were told about, that would be an impractical whack-a-mole process requiring expensive investigation and appeals structures. This would also then become a problem where legitimate users (for some definition of legitimate) would then be victims of these take-downs.
It is somewhat analogous to demanding that your ISP take down websites you don’t like or block them for all users (which turns into the aforementioned whack-a-mole process): They are just a gateway.
I suspect that you need to educate your users about what is/isn’t real as opposed to expecting some authority to remove the problem. Not a trivial solution, but one which should be far more robust as it is likely to generalize into other permutations of this problem.
