Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites
TerHu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 hours agoi love the idea of hosting sites as part of a ring, but i don’t love the idea of having to add my full name and address in the about section, which i’d be legally required to do… i think that’s part of the issue for some people at least.

Where are you seeing that? I only see email address.

“Legally required”, so they’re seeing it in the local laws. Some countries require websites to disclose who operates them.
For example, in Germany, websites are subject to the DDG (Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz, “digital services law”). Under this law they are subject to the same disclosure requirements as print media. At a minimum, this includes the full name, address, and email address. Website updated by companies or for certain purposes can need much more stuff in there.
Your website must have a complete imprint that can easily and obviously be reached from any part of the website and is explicitly called “imprint”.
These rules are meaningless to someone hosting a website in Kenya, Australia, or Canada. But if you run a website in Germany you’d better familiarize yourself with them.
