Thanks.

If you mean all the customers one day decided to revolt and they all agreed to commit felonies then it is unlikely they could achieve a full sustained outage for long as their identity and IP addresses are already well known.

If you feel like saying more, I'm wondering what actions a platform could take to stop an attack like this by their customers, and especially how easy or difficult it would be to stop without impacting business as usual (like say business with customers who weren't part of the attack?)

I wonder if something like this could work as a form of protest. Like a DDOS attack through real traffic from protesters?
