I still have a really hard time with the idea that a domain needs to have "valid" or "meaningful" whois data at all... ...and now there's this? Sounds like a fishing windfall.
- krisdol 11y agoI wouldn't have a problem with it if the data weren't so easily to crawl and parse by spam-bots and robo-callers. Ever since switching away from an whois-anonymization service for one of my domains, the amount of spam letters, emails, and robocalls from telemarketers I get has increased more than ten-fold. For some reason people assume that these whois-anonymization tools are just used by squatters and spam websites, but I use it to someone overloading my physical/digital/voice mailbox.
