ICANN - Steven Smith Says Respect Our Privacy

[Steven Smith <shebapython@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN –

We need more privacy, not less. Having our names and addresses out there is
dangerous to many of us and makes exercising our freedom of expression more
difficult and sometimes DANGEROUS.

Regarding the proposed rules governing companies that provide WHOIS privacy
services (as set forth in the Privacy and Policy Services Accreditation
Issues Policy document):

I urge you to respect internet users' rights to privacy and due process.

- Everyone deserves the right to privacy.

- No one’s personal information should be revealed without a court order,
regardless of whether the request comes from a private individual or law
enforcement agency.

Private information should be kept private. Thank you.
