    Is anyone even surprised anymore? I just kind of expect it at this point. Not that it's ok.

    Surprised? No. Disappointed? Continuously.

    When these companies are caught doing this they tend to get away with a mere slap on the wrist. They pay a small fine relative to the huge revenue(s) they bring in. It's more of an incentive to pay the paltry fine and go back to business as usual with all they stand gain from exploiting their customers.

    Em, no? I mean there are exceptions: if you are public official or doing some other critical job on government payroll then they can list your first and last name, contact information to your office etc. They will usually shy away from publishing things like home address etc. I believe that public court rulings may be published with a lot of information.
    How to not end up on gov websites? Don't be on government payroll, don't be involved in criminal cases, especially as accussed party
