Domain Name Dispute Decision — But No Domain Name!

In a nearly unprecedented move under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), a panel has redacted the actual domain name from a published decision. This means that when you read the decision, it’s impossible to know what domain name was in dispute. The complainant requested redaction because of privacy and safety concerns related to what she called “obscene content on the website in question.”

(Update: After this video was published, I was made aware of a UDRP decision from 2017 in which the domain name was also redacted. Therefore, I have deleted my reference in the description above to the 2022 case being the first time that this has occurred.)
