Some Godaddy employees certainly have access to the data of who is looking for what This is scary for many reasons. Although it barely made a bleep on HN, GoDaddy recently acquired Outright.com Once upon a time, Outright had a great vision. To be like Mint, but for small businesses. For "the little guy". People sign up, plug in their bank account info, credit cards, eBay + PayPal, etc and voila! Here's your P&L. Makes doing taxes easy. Customers? Generally of the unsuspecting "lifestyle business", sole prop, a person / family business kind that just didn't know any better. Over time, Outright's servers became chock full of data (yes, even from deleted accounts), such that it could paint a live stream of a person's or a business's financial health. This would be fine and dandy but for the fact that Outright was taken over by an incredibly unethical and morally incomprehensible CEO who, apparently, decided to sell out all of his users' privacy and security to one of his kind. So GoDaddy is now in the business of "accounting" and has access to the live stream of financial health of a whole lotta small businesses - to exploit and do who knows what with.
