Infrastructure analogies are terrible. It seems everyone on HN wants to have their cake and eat it too.
"I" don't get to install infrastructure. Instead there are any number of codes that control it and licensed installers must certify it and then it must be inspected (and depending on what, at a regular basis). If at any point the infrastructure becomes harmful (for example a gas leak) that infrastructure will be shut down for the safety of others. The problem must then be remediated and then again certified to be safe.
Society, in general, does not allow unsafe infrastructure
I mean, yea, we can hold groups like Cloudflare to that standard, but I don't think this is going to be the panacea for those that like to intimidate and use violence you think it is.
