Why? If there are legitimate issues, you can always be dragged into court, or at least your business can be boycotted and suffer bad PR etc.

Being forced to put your home address just so every whacko with internet access can threaten your children, who had no choice in your business decisions, sounds like just a terrible idea.

Try making a false claim against yourself on r/RBI with dox and report back.

One of the major reasons for concealing who the real owner is of, well, anything is to conceal legitimate issues.

> or at least your business can be boycotted and suffer bad PR etc.

Not if you are concealing ownership to separate an act from the business entity that you would be concerned with retaliation against.

What kind of retaliation do you want? I'm saying the company can suffer or go bust, and civil and criminal proceedings can be enacted that can pierce the veil.

I'm saying the privacy measures are to protect against extralegal vigilante retaliation.
