      Ive been paying my domain registrar for services for a decade or so.

      A few weeks ago they asked me to confirm my ID with yoti.

      Now im in the process of switching to another registrar.

      Im so fucking sick of having to invest so much effort just for a bare minimum of privacy.

        Perhaps there will be a future generation that saves IPv6 addresses like we do phone numbers.
        But then the ISP will ask for Yoti 🤦

        based of you to bail on those shitbags, honestly :D

        i hope a lot of places lose a ton of business because of Yoti specifically. I hope it hurts and I hope they know why it hurts.

          I’m just old enough to get cranky about silly things that aren’t important to other people I guess.

        Which registrar, if you’re willing to disclose?
        I’m using multiple, with some domains not having many options. I have yet to see this but it’s worrying.

          only domains

          Domains was a dot au TLD.

          I have dozens, but the request was only applied to one of them. I got the impression they were doing the requests incrementally to give support a chance to field all the tickets from people like myself pushing back.

          With the ticket, at first a human responded, then the next response was a few pages of AI slop which didnt answer my enquiry. I politely told them that the AI generated response didnt answer my question and asked them to have a human review and respond.

          Then I found a more expensive Australian registrar ventraip. They at least claimed to have 24/7 human support. I transferred the offending domain.

          Onlydomains idiots replied a week later saying “uh, it looks like this domain has been transferred away, and that was the only one we had requested ID for at this time, so you dont need to do anything for now i guess.”

          Idiots.

            I doubt their support team has any control over the situation. It’s honestly surprising you got the final email.

              My enquiry was to see whether I could provide business details instead of confirming my identity.

              The eligibility criteria is either an Australian resident individual or an Australian company.

              They said I could transfer to a company but it costs $200.

              I was trying to get them to tell me whether that was their fee or the regulator auda. Support didnt comprehend the question.

      I figure that the authorities will get annoyed if they keep receiving false positives from this company

        They don’t seem annoyed by their own false positives when they classify anyone who opposes genociding Palestinians as a terrorist. The UK Government seems quite happy with these heavy-handed tactics for the oppression of politically inconvenient people.
