This is not true.  There has been some questionable advice by a
regulatory body, though.  Most damage is done by ISPs which simply do
not adjust the filters to the moving target and run them as-is since
2001 or so.  Null routes tend to filter a different customer after
such a long time.

Unfortunately, they also censor "ENYO.".
