Wanting to profit from AI companies hunt for training data (over and above the community that created that data) is a big part of what created the context for the recent migration away from Reddit. How will the fediverse approach this problem?

Iptables is a very powerful (and complicated) firewall for Linux (and possibly other systems?). You can block on crazy amount of rules (and even more with some optional modules). Blocking specific sets of IPs is one possible solution, yes.

Seems like it would quickly become a bit of an arms race with measures and counter measures unless some legislation went into effect

The complexity of iptables should not be understated. IMO It should be treated as a firewall if last resort - because there is a very high chance the next person to maintain the system after you will not understand all of your implementation

Yes, pretty much.
