Hidden project members, masked domain info and offshore hosting designed to avoid dcma. No thanks.

In countries other than the USA there are strict controls on personal information.

The UK/European countries have GPDR for example.

  • This has nothing to do with GDPR, but nice try. By default you need to provide your details for domain registration, to hide these details is optional.

    Nothing wrong with that, but coupled with hiding yourself on open source project as well and coupled with host which proudly advertises:

    Dedicated Servers & VPS with DMCA Ignored Hosting

    No, thanks. Probably Russkis but still.

    • Actually the entire whois database is "privacy protected" because of GPDR (if my memory is correct)

      Thankfully, because I used to get postal scams for the hundred or so domains I used to host.

      You good for tinfoil bro?

To most of the world the United States is offshore. Recent developments have also made the US unreliable as a hosting provider.
