If you are under broker requirements, and you wish to mine a new block, you must have, for every transaction you include in the block, the legal name of the person whose transaction it is, their address, and whether they are a politically compromised individual (ex, a general or politician of a nation that is not the US).

This information is reasonable to expect from brokerages and exchanges, but not from miners, who are merely transaction processors.
It's whether bitcoin miners need to KYC the other boxes they communicate with. It'd be like requiring bittorrent clients to have a copy of drivers license on file for every other node they make connections to.
