blog-dshr-org-1802		DSHR's Blog: Rate limits			.html	text/html	3492	417	77	Marantz wrote a long and very interesting article covering a lot of ground, but the r/Place part is a great example of the importance to the integrity of the Internet of rate limits. Universal protocol-aware rate limiting (in the style of DNS RRL, but meant for every other presently stateless interaction on the Internet) has the singular advantage of an incentive model where the people who would have to do the work are actually motivated to do the work. Twitter is temporarily decreasing the reach of tweets from users it believes are engaging in abusive behavior via a new protocol that began rolling out last week. The protocol temporarily prevents tweets from users Twitter deems abusive from being displayed to people who don't follow them, effectively reducing their reach. It seems that temporarily limiting the rate and reach of posts from new and suspected abusive identities, the analogy of China's "friction", is necessary but not sufficient.	./cache/blog-dshr-org-1802.html	./txt/blog-dshr-org-1802.txt
