Comment on How do bad actors' sites/servers stay afloat when someone has to handle the hosting?

That depends on what you mean by “bad actors”. If you’re just talking about illegal content then it’s just that the law isn’t universal. They just find a host somewhere where whatever they want to host is legal.

Well, not just content, but also activity like making fake sites to steal credentials, send out phishing emails/texts, and that kind of thing. I guess that may fall under the same point though, of the law not being universal regarding these activities, e.g. talk of some governments ignoring bad actors so long as their activities only target other nations’ citizens.
