Whois Privacy Protect is at Danger
ICANN, the company that manages domain registrations, wants to publish all data out in the open.
The reason they give for that is, they think it will protect others from an illegal commercial activity.
Personally, I really do not like to hand over my private home phone number, nor my living address to 8 billion earthlings.
I understand big companies do not have any problems with their address and phone numbers displayed, but would they mind if the director home address and his personal phone number were at stake? I think he will scratch himself behind the ears too.
There is a petition going on where you can send a mail to ICANN to stop them from violate our privacy rights.
This petition runs until 27 July 2015
