This is not about Internet Service Providers. This is about Infrastructure as a Service providers, e.g. AWS, Linode, Azure, GoDaddy, etc.

See https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2024-01580/p-46 for their definition.

Misrepresenting what this is about is not helpful.

im not sure i understand are customers of AWS/Linode/Digitalocean now required to submit passport/drivers license to host a blog or website?

  • This is my question too. IDGI. If I am a foreigner how do they verify that my ID is real? just because it looks "real enough"?

    This discriminates people from other countries from having tech resources, possibly increasing poverty by limiting opportunities, at the same time it exposes people to have their data leaked. I don't see how this is a good idea.
