  • Usually, the company you bought the domain from sends a e-mail once a year to ask you to verify the WHOIS information is correct.

    It doesn’t go any further than that if your just hosting nextcloud, a DNS, a blog.

    If the website is used to break the law, then that email is contacted, if the email is non respondant, the email provider is asked for IP adress at the time of the last connection, if ISP: you get contacted, if VPN provider: IP at plan subscription or last connection etc. until they can reach an ISP. Then you get contacted.












  • I understand it makes things easy. I’m not a fan of that though. I know if you send mail from your new address to someone using gmail, google will get that address. But the robots have to then create a new advertising profile corresponding to that address and that profile is empty . If you tell google send it all to this new address, then google can already stuff the profile of your new address with the info from your gmail account. (And no: robots are stupid because there are hundreds of new emails created every second, they don’t understand that name.surname@gmail.com = name.surname@anyothermail.com)

    You have to change one after the other the emails in each important account you have (friends, family, employer, governmental agencies, ethical brands) and keep the ones you suspect of being sellers of your ID have the now secondary gmail one.

    Paid builds. You get Access to the source code but you can either build yourself or pay a small amount to have a packaged built and updated whenever.

    I also like the twice a year nag screen thunderbird or Wikipedia uses (KDE was right to start doing it too, in my books).

    I don’t believe a small donate button in the “about” section of the settings screen is of any use.
