Data Broker Radaris Loses Domains in Privacy Fight

Data broker Radaris has lost control of several of its domains after a court order was issued in a lawsuit filed by a consumer advocacy group. The domains were seized as part of a settlement agreement. The domains in question are related to Radaris's business model, which involves collecting and selling personal data. The advocacy group, Public Citizen, claimed that Radaris was violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act by selling consumer data without proper permission. As part of the settlement, Radaris must pay a fine and abide by new rules regarding the sale of consumer data. The domains seized include radaris.com, radaris.net, and radaris.org, among others. The domains will be transferred to Public Citizen, which will use them to monitor Radaris's compliance with the settlement agreement.
