Data Broker Radaris Loses Domains in Privacy Fight
Summary: A New Jersey judge ordered radaris.com and 13 other data broker domains transferred to Atlas Data Privacy Corp, which sued Radaris in February 2024 under Daniel's Law, a statute allowing law enforcement officials, judges and their families to have their information removed from commercial data brokers with $1,000 fines per violation. Atlas said litigation produced more than 10,000 emails and documents showing radaris.com and at least 25 other people-search sites are one operation run by a small Boston-area group, with radaris.com earning roughly $42,000 a month.
What's compelling: Radaris won for a decade by outlasting plaintiffs, and the same First Amendment challenge to Daniel's Law is now being pressed by roughly 150 other data brokers, with West Virginia's version already ruled unconstitutional in August 2025 - so the precedent set here decides whether the $1,000-per-violation model survives at all.
