> propose regulations requiring U.S. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers of IaaS products to verify the identity of their foreign customers,
Sounds like solid policy to me.
- monksy 2y agoAnd how do you know that one customer is a foreign one and one is not?
- kube-system 2y agoThat is outlined in §7.302 The TL;DR is that the must collect name, address, email, phone number, IP address, and payment information and use that information for "verifying the identity of each foreign customer to the extent it enables the U.S. IaaS provider or foreign reseller of U.S. IaaS products to form a reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of each customer." AWS already has all of this information on my account.
- monksy 2y agoHow does an email correspond to your location? My email goes through Switzerland and I have a domain address that ends in ".de" am I a US resident, German, or Swiss?
- kube-system 2y agoIt doesn't correspond to location any more than "name" does. But it is useful, in conjunction with other things, for determining identity, which is what those requirements are about.
