What's with the KYC anyway? Who put that requirement?
Communication platforms are going to be abused by organised crime, pedofiles and all kinds of unsavoury people. KYC rules mean that if a platform finds that kind of content, they can report it to the appropriate authorities.
I dont know whether its by a law, or something else, but even if you self host its a good idea to know who your users are and what they are doing.
