Why is everyone expected to put in real data into your who is domain data?

Last time I bought a domain, I did "1,lol,NYC, Dubai,90210" and other nonsense in the four fields.

Is it a compulsion to use real data and then rely on registrars promise to not disclose it?

It's required for legal purposes. If legal notices are served on the domain, the registrars need to know where to send them. Using fake details are fine until you need to prove ownership for some reason or a legal notice is given.

Easy way to get a domain seized is to have it not be responding to legal notices.

in the case of raidforums, was the admin going to respond to legal notices? probably not because what they were doing was not legal anyways so why bother.

for such a website, seizure is ultimately going to happen regardless of response so why put themselves at more risk?
