You know whose lives I'm concerned about? The children whom these monsters raped. Does anyone care that their lives were destroyed?
If you choose to rape children, don't complain that your life is "destroyed" just because you have to face consequences. You did this to yourself and deserve every consequence you receive.
Most people have an idyllic view of certain childhood years, usually around the ages 5 to 10 or so. It's before you start to understand just how broken the world is, and your worldview gets more complex and nuanced.
Many people wrongly assume that the world really was simpler when they were that age. The truth is, the world was just as messed up--they were just blissfully unaware.
Next time your dad complains, remind him that we still have milkshakes and racism.
"To be fair, some of the characters started running the cables underground in those populated areas."
"Oh, that makes sense. So they probably have those marked and don't have to worry about them?"
"Mostly. They don't actually mark them, and most characters don't know where they are. If they need to dig, they have to find them each time. Sometimes they forget to find them first."
Oyster. Anything with the consistency of snot that you're supposed to swallow without chewing isn't food. I can make my own salt water that tastes much less disgusting.
It's possible to transfer a domain name from one DNS provider to another, similar to phone numbers. So stealing a domain name is as simple as initiating that transfer procedure. Many providers have a "lock" option (again, similar to phone numbers) to avoid these issues, but they still happen.
Of course you can challenge them legally, but you're likely to end up in a costly legal battle. And if you're a company who cares about their brand image, you're more likely to pay the ransom (which is probably less than the legal fees anyways) and get it back quickly.
So yeah, if you don't have legit info, you shouldn't rely on it too much.
If you're actually interested in a domain name while remaining anonymous, you'd want to get a subdomain instead. Try something like No-IP, which doesn't legally require all your personal info.
It's the same phenomenon as every company that is publicly owned (or aspiring to be)--their only concern is the apparent value of the company. Not the value or quality of the actual product or service, just the stock market value.
Stock market values are based on profitability. There are two ways to increase profitability: increase revenue, and decrease costs. Increasing revenue is hard, especially with social media companies (they cost a lot for how much ad revenue brings in, which is partly why they all sell your data--to increase revenue).
Decreasing costs in the short term is much easier. Fire 25% of the staff, you've just increased profitability by a huge margin, and you get a raise. But wouldn't that lower the quality of the product? Naw, we'll just replace people with AI, who will do a perfectly adequate job. Besides, who the hell cares? It's not like the product matters, it's the numbers!
