Hi, I was planning to bring up this issue but the other way around, ContactInfo, Nickname and Myfamily are non-enforceable so why should tor rely on spoofable information for its operation? I saw some discussions about contacting hosting providers to reach out to server operators and I see you

Hi, due to some recent and ongoing events related to a malicious entity running tor relays I'll start to pursue an idea that I had for some time: require non-empty ContactInfo (non-empty does not mean valid email address) This is primarily a non-technical policy discussion which will take place
