be confident that the service is not keeping logs? JÁ!

>5. Confirm identity for "fraud prevention" (now we have your ID)

I can't tell whether OP is being hyperbolic but it's certainly not representative of the average "privacy-focused" service I've came across. The typical service only asks for an email and maybe billing information (can be prepaid card or crypto). The only exception is protonmail, which might require SMS verification[1], but given the problem of email spam I'm sympathetic, and it's bypassble by paying. It's certainly not the "average" service, and no service asked to "Confirm identity".

This is very cool. I have wondered for a very long time why such a site does not exist. What pops to mind is that you could get better unit economics reselling really small VMs to the privacy obsessed. I know some netizens who would pay a dollar a month for, say, a tiny NetBSD VM and 64 MB of RAM to serve their tiny static demoscene website of yore. There are some real wizards of there.

Not sure if that's in your roadmap but definitely something to consider in this space.

running three flavors of the same off brand browser, each optimised for different segments of online content is what seems to be the minimum.

they are so desperate to sell me something, (a truck) that it's wild, as it is one of the few monitisable things I consistently look for (parts, service procedures), the , pause, when I do certain searches gives me time to predict that yes, the machinery is grinding hard, and will ,shortly, triumphantly, produce, a ,truck.

You're going to have a tussle with law enforcement, and you're going to lose. Your service will last < 2 years because you will not be able to afford the lawyers you need to defend against even one muscle move by the government.

Good luck!
