Having not read the full TOS and all its definitions, I'll agree that would likely get around GoDaddy's objection.
GoDaddy could maybe argue that the fundamental purpose of the website was still to facilitate gathering that data, but that seems more of a stretch. "You are using our servers to gather this forbidden data" vs "you are using our servers to gather this allowed data, which will later be used to gather forbidden data elsewhere"...
I'd guess that the reason the website doesn't want to make this change would be that it'd greatly increase their own costs in terms of followup they'd have to perform. Makes it a more high-touch operation.
- pyuser583 5y agoI get the impression the website isn’t being run by professionals. As I mentioned, it promises not to contact you, and then asks the best time to contact you. Not exactly high caliber user research going on there. I also get the impression it’s more about get names they can hit up for donations. Notice how it asks if the “reporter” is already involved in anti-abortion movement. That’s probably to avoid duplicates when they add the name to their mailing list asking for money.
