The increase of EU laws (AML5 / GDPR) doesn't match anymore with the vision of the original WP. In this context, I don't feel we can continue in the same way and I feel obligated to integrate KYC to the project.

The community is split about this decision and many are against it in the context of a decentralized Internet. I think KYC and decentralized Internet are compatible but many objected that a decentralized Internet shouldn't be controlled nor subject to governments regulations.

On my side, I won't continue to lead the project if we do not comply to regulations. We then decided to put up a vote to choose how the project should be maintained. @frphm proposed himself as a leader (even temporarily) to pursue the vision @Michael Dye had in the original whitepaper and I'm proposing myself to continue the project by including KYC to it.

So you have 2 options now, continue with me and integrate KYC to the product or follow @frphm lead who will continue in the way the project was first thought.

Please vote on discord by adding the force logo under the name of the leader you would like to proceed with. The one with the most vote will keep or take back control of all the social networks, github and dev funds.

Thank you for your trust in Force Network and thank you for your support in helping us to deliver a better, fair and censor-free Internet for all!
