I've been on the receiving end of "Your" (dynamic) "IP has been blocked."
I would greatly prefer not having my semi-randomized IP blocked because someone used it maliciously a year ago.

If anybody is suggesting permanent bans of IPs, it's not me, at least not at a public level. I may very well choose privately to do that.
To clarify, I, personally chooses a blacklist policy. Not some other org. I think if you offload this onto any kind of external structure, it breaks again.
ADD: We make publicly-available, second-by-second, how the internet is broken and invite all comers, including me and my blocklist, to help fix it.
There's a huge commerical interest in NOT fixing the problem of random crap showing up, from dancing cats selling things to targeted inserted ads. I get it. We saw this same thing happen with adblockers. It's now going on with "free" VPNs. Can't fight that perverse incentive, so don't fight it.
The problem is that ISPs whose customers are originating the attacks from don’t give a shit.
If we have to give up 1% of legitimate traffic to thwart 90% of attacks, it is a good deal.
If you and other customers complain to your ISP (or switch), eventually they’ll do something about it.
We can’t seriously keep on accepting that « thousands of compromised devices » is a fine reality for a « small botnet ».
These devices should be quarantined.
Guess who has more votes, you or Amazon.
I don't even want to think about the ramifications for small and medium sized businesses. Realistically, how much would it cost to be able to completely destroy a local competitor by paying someone to orchestrate a few events in succession.
As I understand your argument, because the net has solid endpoints we can identify and isolate, we should ignore that fact. Instead we should create more and more complex systems to work around bad actors?
Bad actor takes control of grandma's computer. We should do all sorts of things except stop talking to grandma's computer? The thing, I would suspect, that most people would expect?
Businesses suffer from too much transparency. Got that part. They buy things that don't work and sometimes hurt people, even if they don't intend to do this. So far, so good. Where is the part where new businesses models are supposed to exist because some people made bad choices and the current models don't work? Why don't we just publicize the bad choices and let things work themselves out?
Sorry. Missing it.
My personal want / solution would simply be "everything gets an IPV6, and IPV4 gets deprecated. Everything using IPV4 gets an algorithm slapped on top to covert it into IPV6.
Dynamic ips become a thing of the past.
But I realize that is significantly easier said than done. (Makes Minecraft servers easier to setup though)
