Enforcement Action Against Radaris.com: Domain Seizure for Daniel’s Law Privacy Violations and Data Broker Compliance Risks
Authorities have seized the domain of Radaris.com, a people-search data broker, over alleged violations of Daniel's Law, a New Jersey statute that protects the home addresses and personal information of law enforcement officers, judges, and prosecutors from public disclosure.
Why this matters: Daniel's Law exists because publishing a judge's home address can get that judge killed. Radaris built a business on aggregating and selling exactly this kind of information about anyone, including people the law specifically protects. A domain seizure is serious — it is not a fine or a warning letter. Other data brokers should read this carefully. If regulators are willing to take a site offline over Daniel's Law violations, the compliance bar for this industry just got a lot more concrete.
