Porkbun is using surveillance tech to combat fraud now so I would be careful[0]

Something to take note is domain transfers between Porkbun accounts requires ID verification now [1].

Thanks for the heads up. Not a good outcome for a trusted domain provider like Porkbun

Why is that bad?

Sounds like a great way to prevent domain theft.

You either see the long term ramifications of data collection, Or you don't.

i get it but my domain is my livelihood i can show the domain registrar who i am.

That information doesn't stay with you domain provider. It's a 3rd party data collection system that will be used to surveil people eventually.
