Late January, the U.S. Department of Commerce published a notice of proposed rulemaking for establishing new requirements for Infrastructure as a Service providers (IaaS) . The proposal boils down to a 'Know Your Customer' regime for companies operating cloud services, with the goal of countering the activities of "foreign malicious actors." 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.
It's actually rather stunning to see just how hard they're attacking privacy in these final months of the disastrous dumpster fire that is the Biden administration. This is exactly why I believe centralized cloud and CDN infrastructure is massively dangerous.
I didn't mention the others. It's simply that this current "administration" has been a disaster in literally every way so it's not surprising they're trying to end our constitutional rights.
