Free speech is not the same as anonymity in all jurisdictions. In mine, anonymity is forbidden by the constitution... in some, anonymity is considered part of free speech. Matching local laws to a global policy is a challenge.
That's a good point, but not creating policy which honors the lowest common denominator is also a big part of that challenge. I recall during the nTLD comments periods some strongly worded objections from members of the GAC* to several new TLD applications based only on reasoning such as homosexuality was illegal in their country so any nTLD which implied service to homosexuals (e.g., .GAY) was unacceptable. Homosexuality is explicitly illegal in over 70 countries or so The Goog tells me. Compare and contrast to GDPR which is the legal framework of a mere 27 countries (perhaps 28.) * GAC: ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
