Why do you want to take a stand against KYC? Do you want scammers to continue existing in the crypto world? There will always be the dilemma between scammers and governments. I prefer the latter.
These companies are only doing KYC because they are required by law to do it in their operating jurisdictions. I don't think any of these companies want to, it's just want they need to do to keep large investors and regulators happy.
