There's a big difference between your wife's ex guessing your domain and running whois on it to find her home address, vs just being able to Google her name to find it.
- noja 9y agoIsn't every single one of those websites violating that TOS of the registry, that the data may be queried, but not stored? (queue the "there's no difference" brigade - yes there is)
- sbov 9y agoI'm guessing they didn't actually store it, because it got cleaned up shortly after I deregistered the domain.
