I didn’t want my phone number posted on the whois anymore. For a while it was getting ridiculous, I would get an average of 20 calls a day at all times of the day or night.
I now changed numbers and I have no one calling me. Casinopays was the worse, they would call whenever they found a new website of mine, and they seemed to have 4 different managers find the same website on the same day.
If the government wants my info I think the privacy will delay them by all of 24 hours so this isn’t the reason I do it. But I guess the extra day of freedom is nice.
