Late January, the U.S. Department of Commerce published a notice of proposed rulemaking for establishing new requirements for Infrastructure as a Service providers (IaaS) . The proposal boils down to a 'Know Your Customer' regime for companies operating cloud services, with the goal of countering the activities of "foreign malicious actors." Yet, despite an overseas focus, Americans won't be able to avoid the proposal's requirements, which covers CDNs, virtual private servers, proxies, and domain name resolution services, among others.
This will never fly. Asking ISPs to verify identity is not a thing anyone is capable of doing. I've worked for hosting companies for the last 20 years.
So don’t all ISPs know their customers. Usually they provide service to your place of residence or work.
