WHOIS privacy services

[Emily Rucker <wackawack789123@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Dear ICANN,Please keep website authors' personal contact informationprivate. 
One of the main reasons to have a website is so that people cancontact a person 
or group without the danger of publishing their address. Youcan interact with 
others concerning personal interests and/or business-relatedactivities, without 
the possibility of someone opposing your personal orbusiness-related activities 
using your address to try to thwart your businessactivities, or, for personal 
hate or for business-related competition, become areal threat to one's family 
and associates, or cause stress through threatsthat may be 'empty,' but cannot 
be verified to be so.Regarding the proposed rules governing companies 
thatprovide WHOIS privacy services (as set forth in the Privacy and Policy 
ServicesAccreditation Issues Policy document):I urge you to respect internet 
users' rights to privacy anddue process. - Everyone deserves the right to 
privacy.- No one’s personal information should be revealed without acourt 
order, regardless of whether the request comes from a private individualor law 
enforcement agency. - Publishing contact information such as physical 
addressesregardless of web users preferences is a sure way to infringe on the 
rights andsafety of many minority groups and interest-related groups, as well 
asfacilitating illegal hindrances to business, and poses danger to 
majoritygroups as well, as anyone with the physical address has 
greatly-increasedopportunity to attack or hinder them or their legal, 
majority-endorsedactivities.Thank you very much for preserving this crucial 
aspect oflegal privacy!
