Google results showing domain registrations
So I ran a Google search on my name, as one does, and one of the results that was linked to was a page showing that I, under my full real legal name, am the owner of nemurokinenkan.net.
Now, you've always been able to go to WhoIs and look up nemurokinenkan.net and see that it is owned by me, and I don't mind that. I'm not actually all that worried about people being able to find out that ciaan is me.
What I don't want, though, is people looking up me under my real name and finding ciaan. And I'm pretty sure that domain registrations listed by the person's name didn't show up in such searches any other time I've checked.
So just a PSA for anyone who has fannish or otherwise private or pseudonymous domain registrations, but under a legal name (so you can pay for it and all), these listings may be showing up when someone runs a search for your name.
