Sharing information on social media is common for many people nowadays, but it's not always without consequence. In some cases, simple 'likes' can be used as evidence in court, as a Florida man recently discovered. His Star Wars and Minion 'likes' were presented as evidence to support allegations he may be a prolific BitTorrent pirate.

You should assume that dbzer0 will eventually get a legal request to turn over records.

Most TLDs basically mean nothing because there's nobody who enforces what they mean. .tv domains, for example, is the TLD for the country Tuvalu, but I dare you to find me a website for the Tuvalu people ending in it.
