They cancelled .eu domains for all registrants who reside in the UK, irrespective of their citizenship. That is not a speculation. They ask for those people to prove their citizenship before the end of March. Why doesn't the EU first ask for the citizenship proof before harming its own citizen? It's kind of dumb to think that the EU happily harms its own citizen and don't even realise it because they think the only harm UK folks.

> Why doesn't the EU first ask for the citizenship proof before harming its own citizen? Did you check that they didn't? Do you know that? Because they did ask: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25648952 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25648952 You drop accusations left and right despite being few clicks away from actually checking these notifications: https://eurid.eu/en/home/ https://eurid.eu/en/home/ From the first notice posted on Oct 1st 2020: https://eurid.eu/en/news/first-brexit-notice/ https://eurid.eu/en/news/first-brexit-notice/ "Registration data may be updated by indicating a legally established entity in one of the eligible Union Member States, or by updating their residence to a Union Member State, or proving their citizenship of a Union Member State irrespective of their residence." So, again, you just come off salty, ignorant and prejudiced towards EU without merit, and there isn't room on Hackernews for such attitude. So yeah, you do deserve to get downvoted into oblivion.

  And, as expected, dustinmoris never bothered to apologize for outright lying. I swear people like him/her are making HN becoming another Reddit.

    However right you may be on this, just a bit of feedback; accusing someone of being ignorant, prejudiced and lying could also come off as “salty”. Misinformed maybe, but they admitted they were wrong.

  Yes I went to the eurid website and they had a facility to declare citizenship beforehand so you’re right, I simply assumed massive EU incompetence based on precedence, but in this case it wasn’t their fault.

>They cancelled .eu domains for all registrants who reside in the UK, irrespective of their citizenship. No, they didn't. Eurid have sent out several notifications telling registrants what to do if they are still eligible to have a .eu domain by virtue of the fact they are EU citizens. Source: I have (well, had...) a .eu domain and read those emails.
