This is basically nationally enforced “security through obscurity” which is dumb as fuck.
Comment on U.S. "Know Your Customer" Proposal Will Put an End to Anonymous Cloud Users

From the article…
Yet, despite an overseas focus, Americans won’t be able to avoid the proposal’s requirements, which covers CDNs, virtual private servers, proxies, and domain name resolution services, among others.

This is more of a privacy failure than a security failure. I don’t see how purchasing services via an alias could be considered security

“attack US critical infrastructure” is security
TORFdot0@lemmy.world 8 months ago
“Security by obscurity” is very much an end user “i don’t need to harden my server/accounts because nobody would bother hacking me” attitude and is really is “dumb as fuck”
But KYC is just expanded due diligence before providing services, thats why I thought it as privacy issue as to why someone would be against it as opposed to it security wise.
I still don’t see how you’ve gotten from that to “nationally enforced security by obscurity” though

What is that link
x4740N@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I assume that user is licencing their comments under creative commons

This is on par with the copypastas that floated around FB for a while isn’t it?

Now I want to see someone break down if that’s even enforceable

Especially given that this particular comment is 90% quotes from some other author.

No need to assume, you can see this on all of their comment history. They are claiming ownership of their words, or in the context, ownership of how they’ve arranged others words

eh, I could just pirate their words if I so chose & there’d be fuckall they could do about it

I was thinking of using this comment to train my for-profit LLM, but now that I see the licensing agreement, I know I will never be able weather the prolonged court battles.

Honestly at this point it’s more about just reading the replies from people who get bent out of shape about seeing that link, than actually protecting myself from bots. It’s almost like a strange internet Rorschach test.

For what it’s worth, I’m entertained by people needing to tell you what they think of your copy paste. It’s fun.
Bring back forum signatures!
