Hacktivists often use DDoS attacks against organizations that they perceive as being opposed to them. This includes not only government but also journalist, publications, and human rights groups. Google'ss parent Alphabet has stepped up to help with thwart DDoS against these groups. Since 2016 Project Shield has thwarted DDoS attacks against hundreds of web sites in over 80 countries. These attacks were directed at web sites in order to silence important information. Project Shield was offered for free to journalists, small publications, human rights groups, and others. But Google is doing that from its own initiative at a relatively high cost.
Should there instead be a tax on computer hardware and/or software that goes towards a fund that is then used for organizations like this to have permanent DDOS mitigation?
