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.
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.”
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.
I left PayPal because they asked for a video instead of a proper method of verification.

Domains was a dot au TLD.
