Great work, Quip.
Interesting that it's out of Canada. Thoughts?
Was looking it up and is correct about the privacy thing. https://poal.co/s/QStorm/552903/c87bbc9b-c2c2-4748-9403-bad9871a94c4#cmnts
I think Tucows is similar to GoDaddy.
Contact Privacy Inc. is a . You have to go through them to contact the website owner, who, for whatever reasons, wants to stay hidden.
Whether those reasons are good or bad, can't say at this point. He suggested contacting them to try and get more info on the website owner, but I'm not that brave! 😁
Having privacy set up for a domain is quite common for a number of reasons like avoiding spam, preventing being doxxed, etc.
If you have a controversial website like this I'd imagine some powerful people would be out to get you so that's enough reason to want to remain anonymous.
Yeah, I figured the common reasons were a factor for it.

This is the way I'm leaning.
The fact that it's registered in Canada raises a red flag for me -but I guess we'll see. I DID search the site on some specifics, and it produced what I already know to be true so may be a good tool no matter where it came from.

This may, or may not be, innocuous.
You're right, we'll have to see.

The lack of transparency may be telling us not to look a gift horse in the mouth. ;)
