I don’t understand all of this but I’m happy knowing you are on the job

What i'm suggesting is a supply chain attack targeting only imposers of kyc. Only change is the license.

Each web site is built on a tech stack. With shared tech stacks. There are only a few possible choices.

Would only have to convince very few authors and it affects the entire planet. Cuz many of these packages are not easily replaced.

Our tech stacks are hanging on by a thread. Maintenance is very underfunded which screams, at risk! Without the good will of maintainers and them self-funding the maintenance, all the companies making web sites would have have legal liabilities hanging over their heads, if they ever dared to have their web site impose kyc.

Is there anything else can help to clarify?

I think I understand the basic idea now, thanks for taking the time!
