Bad actors aren’t blacklisted for repeatedly injecting garbage?


Maybe? Sometimes? It probably depends if what they're doing causes operational issues. BGP is primarily a trust based system. Many upstreams have filters to limit route announcements from their downstream / customer ASes, but at its core, it is trust based.


It’s hardly trust based if enforcement against those who break the trust is so sporadic.
