I don't think the author necessarily has a reasonable expectation of privacy. I disagree with this. I think they did have a reasonable expectation of anonymity, they just didn't do a great job at protecting it. Per the article it seems like Epik accept fake names and cryptocurrency; they could have done that and avoided this mess. I'd expect my registrar to protect my personal address, for example, despite the website being my full name. And for my other domains I absolutely would expect them to protect my identity because I paid for WHOIS protection. And none of them are even remotely controversial. > The Holocaust was a thing that happened. Pretending it didn't isn't expressing an opinion. Also disagree. It's an opinion, but a wrong one that they should face social opprobrium for.
