De-anonymization of domain owners in the .RU zone
Posted today by user alizar panicky in its spirit, the topic of " certification " of the Internet could not force me to stay away from the affected problem. As a person directly related to the provision of domain registration services, I will allow you to express your personal opinion in order to reassure the social community.
It seems to me that with the introduction in the regulations of the requirement to “present a passport” absolutely nothing will change. For many years, for example, the Ru-Center has been recommending its partners to use data during registration that “can be documented”. At the same time, no one asks anyone for a passport and the passport data submitted by the client is believed to be the word, although the registrar thus reserves the right to request documentary confirmation of the passport details, which is its certified copy.

It is impossible not to recall the recommended prices for the registration and renewal of domains. Reducing the bar to the current 90 rubles with a small one contradicts the modern requirements of the Coordination Council, which provides prices for end users in the amount of 500 and 350 rubles for registration and renewal, respectively.
At the same time, the registrars found a simple and effective loophole - they created pocket companies that offer more affordable prices under partnership agreements. Legally, they violate the “Financial Conditions for Registrars' Activities” dated 04.06.2007, but in fact the Council looks at them through their fingers, since the cheapening of domains contributes to the further expansion of the Russian geographical area.
Taking into account the practice shown, it can be assumed that the “passporting” initiative will not in the least complicate the life of the end user. On the contrary, it carries significant advantages, since, if necessary, it is rather difficult to even segregate an anonymous, in fact, “ownerless” domain that violates someone's rights, even in court. Simplification of this procedure will benefit in the fight against sites that violate the laws of the Russian Federation.
In my opinion, the measures under discussion are primarily aimed not at registering and “de-anonymizing” the owners of Russian domains, but at combating offender websites from the domestic segment of the Internet. At the same time, nothing threatens law-abiding domain owners and their rights are in no way infringed upon.
For those who are worried about their own anonymity, the registrars have introduced a free service to conceal personal data. It allows you to not show real information about the domain owner for whois requests. In this regard, Garant-Park Telecom went even further - owners of registered domains are offered free of charge to use the mail redirection service from the address of the domain.ru@r01-service.ru type to a real e-mail specified in the hidden personal data.
And finally, anticipating possible objections, I note that organizing a centralized check of notarized copies of passports, phones and other personal data will be so troublesome and expensive that the Coordination Council is unlikely to seriously insist on this. Considering, again, the declarative nature of their previous limitations.
