Aviation is regulated. I am not normally supporting a heavy hand in regulation, but i think it is fair to say Noction and similar BGP optimizers are unsafe at any speed and the FTC or similar should ban them in the USA. They harm consumers and are a risk to national security / critical infrastructure Noction and similar could have set basic defaults (no-export, only create /25 bogus routes to limit scope), but they have been clear that their greed to suck up traffic does not benefit from these defaults and they wont do it. Tar and feather them. FTC, do your job.
