There are some things that should require KYC. Like accepting DMCA claims. The claimaint should have to be a real verified person before the host should be required to act on a DMCA complaint.
Right. I'm just highlighting from a different angle the point of the main article: KYC "protections" are not implemented to protect human people.
If that was the intention they'd be applied equally in all legal contexts like re: DMCA claims, but the fact that they aren't shows the intentions of regulators for KYC in practice.
