No way will I trust ecommerce sites operating on .ru domains in particular at this point. - This is a huge leap backwards. I understand the desire to protect oneself from spam, harassment, and so forth, but for those things one can simply pay an attorney or other third party to serve as the contact point for the domain. Don't break the internet please. That is just incredibly stupid, and here’s why:
