Comment on Investigation into 4chan and its compliance with duties to protect its users

Comments

4chan will win, american techbros will celebrate, then in a year the US will pass some sort of KYC.

Surveillance is inevitable.

Only with that defeatist attitude will it be inevitable.

A great and inspiring example is the SOPA/PIPA thing.

Now, there are other less inspiring examples (e.g. SESTA/FOSTA)! and this didn't somehow form a durable political consensus (or an entrenched legal principle), but people looking at this issue in advance would have thought, and did think, that obviously this legislation would pass. And then it didn't.

genuine question: what is a "KYC"?
