The title is misleading.
I don't think so, while the impact wasn't as great as he and other people wished, it nonetheless had a big impact, many people started to care, just because of what he exposed.
I felt weird about some of their practices, e.g., making so-called “Whois Privacy,” which hides your personal data in RDAP requests, a paid extra feature when you register or move a domain to them.
I never spend time too look deeper into their service at that time, as I was only looking for a domain registrar. Their apps are available on F-Droid which is cool.
It's spam by the same person across multiple accounts from the same blog.
Why do you make so many posts linking to the same website?
