    Turbo nerds, GDPR is not about whois information, and barely anyone knows about or cares about whois besides you autists.

    Aldra's mad with me cos he keeps trying to act like a know it all, even about shit he is barely familiar with. And I'm the only person who calls him on it.

    Registering something you own in your name is important to assert ownership. You register literally everything when ownership might be brought into question - cars, land, houses, etc. Maybe you should start a blockchain dns like .eth or something if you don't want your name on your own site. Goddam.

    GDPR will wind up being used against people who do things like publish lists of tax cheats and the like - as with the panama papers. That is the whole point of GDPR, it's not about cookies or email or any of that internet shit, it's about real world money and banking.

    where are you even getting these ideas

    Aldra learned most of what he thinks he knows about GDPR from this thread.

    They still have a whois database, the information just isn't public anymore.

    Also I used "chilling" effects on speech, then you faggots went on to use it 4 times. I wish people would goddam stop copying me.

    Seriously though what would be the problem with forcibly removing anonymity and requiring your registration to be associated with your SIN/SSN, with mandatory facebook profiles for all SIN possessing internet users? That seems only reasonable. Like an internet operator's license, in line with drivers licenses and the like?

    It seems like the most utilitarian way of running things. Anonymity only has negative utility on a societal scale. There is nothing that is socially permitted which also requires anonymity.~

    there's literally nothing of value here. Just you whining about a minor clause for pages on end as if it were the primary purpose of the law.

    Congratulations on coining the phrase. I guess my memory is bad and it didn't come into vogue when DMCA takedowns became rampant.

    The UK are apparently going to try something like this.

    I mentioned it as a one line "for instance" then Lanny jumped in. But you already know that.

    Public execution would be a great solution for that.

    Originally posted by HTS Don't act like you have some kind of entitlement to totally anonymous, untraceable speech. You don't. Don't expect a society that doesn't approve of your speech to facilitate ways in which you can circumvent their scorn. "Chilling effects on speech" are a spook.~

    Why should I not expect this? That's exactly the same sort of thing as the first first amendment protections. And no one has said anything about total anonymity, the topic is either GDPR consent requirements or DNS registration requirements where such records are kept and available to law enforcement with a warrant but not made public.

    I don't get why you're getting all salty when I point out that you're contradicting yourself. Pick one or the other position and move on instead of playing dumb.

    Registering something you own in your name is important to assert ownership.

    No it's not. I own a coffee maker, I never registered that coffee maker but it belongs to me. Isn't that crazy? Property can exist without public registries? Who would have thought such an complex idea as property could exist without state controlled documentation? What's gonna happen next, we'll start saying people live together without informing the state or you can go for a walk without being in the National Walkers Directory?

    Hmm, that's an interesting point. It certainly is important for whistleblowers to be able to operate for a well informed citizenry. Can you think of any examples in recent history of important whistleblowers? If you can, can you recall what and how they were able to publish their documents? Did it perhaps depend on anonymous channels of publication?
