I need an example of how they could thwart it etc.. Well I mean that initially one could just allow people access who have a WebID, without even looking at their Social Network. If they have a WebID at this point, and for the next year or so you are guaranteed that they are intelligent and ahead of their time, which spammers tend not to be. At that point adding policies will of course be necessary, and should in fact be developed before. > > My mission is to kill SPAM, completely, so I am eager to be presented with scenarios Spammers could exploit. Note, I assume a world where policies complement WebID . Completely agree: you need policies to complement WebID as it at it's core only gives you a URI. But at least you have that URI securely, and reliably. > > > -- > > Regards, > > Kingsley Idehen > President & CEO > OpenLink Software > Web: > http://www.openlinksw.com > > Weblog: > http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen > > Twitter/Identi.ca: kidehen
