Go Daddy Launches Privacy Site.
2005-04-05, HostMan.biz Domain registrar and Web hosting provider Go Daddy (godaddy.com) announced on Monday that it had launched thedangerofnoprivacy.com (thedangerofnoprivacy.com), a Web site focused on raising public awareness and promoting debate about a recent government decision to remove privacy safeguards in the registration of .us domain names. A February decision by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, a part of the US Department of Commerce, requires new registrants of .US domains to submit their phone numbers and addresses for listing in publicly searchable databases. Current holders of .US domains are required to turn over their information no later than January 26, 2006, or face loss of their registered domains. Consumer groups and free speech advocates oppose the decision and insist that it infringes on the privacy rights of US citizens. Parsons has personally expressed outrage. "There are numerous, legitimate reasons why individuals wish to keep their personal, identifying information out of the WHOIS database," says Bob Parsons, president and founder of Go Daddy. "For example, private registrations protect domain name owners from stalkers and harassers, protect against spam and phishing email intrusions, and deter identity and credit card theft. They also allow people to operate a business out of their home safely, and to speak anonymously - a First Amendment right confirmed by the US Supreme Court." Go Daddy encourages visitors of the site to sign a petition urging the NTIA to reconsider the decision. Over 8,500 people signed the petition within the first 48 hours of the site being launched. |
