It looks like KYC is going to be required by the US government (we know KYC, Know Your Customer, from financial institutions only )
Will Icedrive implement this too ?

This is the root problem with centralized services. As governments become more autocratic, they can impose new, unsavory rules on centralized service providers, incrementally eroding citizens’ rights. The future must be decentralized (no central entity to attack) and trustless (zero-knowledge, end-to-end-encryption AUTOMATICALLY). It’s the only way to secure fundamental human rights in technology. This is also why payment methods not linked to individual identity must become standardized. Failing to address these issues will mean no privacy for otherwise law-abiding citizens.
Icedrive staff, please let us know your intentions in this regard so your clients can consider what to do next.

This probably wont happen, not in the US anyway plus we are positioned quite nicely in Gibraltar
The UK is the country most likely to have the most drastic changes coming soon regarding internet privacy. They still havent utilised that online “saftey” bill but i can see that coming soon. All in the name of saftey, of course.
Regarding what we will do, well anything we possibly can really. Weve already moved country and if Gibraltar becomes a problem we will move again.
The thing is though, is not letting it happen in the first place. People need to start rising up soon or it will all be too late
