NetworkSolutions follows GoDaddy and eNom to launch Privacy Protection Service

[mole]

When you register a domain name, your address, e-mail and phone number are published in the public WHOIS database. ICANN requires this personal information to be available for anybody to view on the web.

Deters spammers, telemarketers, identity thieves, harassers, stalkers and others who "mine" the public WHOIS database.

Protects Your Personal Information. The information you want to keep private is kept out of the public WHOIS database. You are assigned alternate contact information that is displayed in your WHOIS listing.

Protects Your Domain Name Registration. Gives you full control and standing as registrant over the domain names in your account, unlike proxy services.

As with all these services - the phrase involving words: "has, stable, horse, door, bolted, closing, the, after" comes to mind.

Like ICANN and NetworkSolutions did not know this data was being mined.

They evade responsible for the security of this data - and also completely fail to protect people from spammers by not putting these simple procedures in place (until now).

Will they be selling or giving data to "friendly" companies that do not have it already?

Better late than never I guess, garry.

Well Mole - perhaps ICANN and NetworkSolutions are too stupid to realise that, just as people can be ex-directory on the telephone, the same could be done for Internet.

Have they heard the term 'ex-directory' in America?

Looks like they are simply monkey brained morons on this particular matter.
