EU legislation introduced to ban anonymous domain registration

[Dopious]

Fun, if you don´t own a phonenumber, your screwed.

"More specifically, registrants of new domains will be required to provide a valid telephone number belonging to them, while their full name, email, and physical address will have to be verified too."

I am guessing this will happen here in the US unless I am not aware of any current laws.

Newbie here yes
But UE legislation is a part of my "real" work
For the moment, it's only a hypothesis of work.

There are few steps to success before.
Even in the worst case, you can rent a phone number.

I knew that it was not done yet, posted for others to get informed only, so I did just assume you where a newbie, since you assumed I was upset in some way. Never assume things you don´t know anything about, calling someone a sweetie in this way, does say more about you than me. So I assumed your a newbie as well.

EU wants to regulate the whole internet. They become China 2.0, no joke. They talk about privacy and security, but its all just about gathering information of the people and controlling the big american companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, etc.

Once I get done caring about GDPR I will get around to this...

 

[Chris Newman]

With such a regulation, the domain registrar companies will see a drop in revenue, because the number of domains bought for "churn & burn" in my opinion is very high and who would support something that would lead to a drop in their revenues ? Certain parties related to this, may not be in favour of such regulations.

 

[terrycody]

How its related with .com? Oh wait, no one can hide from them then? Fuck them.

 

[leechesBleechin]

So a regulation that only hurts and puts a hurdle in front of legit people and businesses. Anyone else is just going to sidestep like a none retarded person. Yup sounds like the EU.

Nothing serious

What about the address and name?

 

[jgeeked]

Well, this would only apply to registrars based in the EU, would it not? So unless you are using some country specific TLD, you should be ok.

And for the address/number requirement comments, simply get a virtual office/corresponding address and virtual number. Problem solved.
