+[[!meta title="Does scripts.mit.edu publish information about who runs which websites?"]]
+We don’t go out of our way to make this information available, nor
+to
+protect it.
+
+There is no listing of websites hosted on scripts.mit.edu or their
+
+maintainers. If we’re asked to by IS&T staff (e.g., IT Security or
+User
+Accounts) or law enforcement, we will identify the maintainer of a
+single
+website. We may also do so if needed in the process of answering a
+
+good-faith support ticket about the maintenance of that website.
+Otherwise, we avoid giving this information out to the public for
+the
+asking.
+
+That said, for multiple technical reasons ranging from the
+configuration
+of our servers to the properties of various parts of Athena
+infrastructure
+we build upon, it’s generally possible to determine the ownership
+of a
+website with some concerted effort, including which users or groups
+have
+the ability to publish the site and who was the original creator of
+a file
+in a locker. Most of this is due to the Athena locker model itself,
+and
+applies equally to sites hosted on other services such as
+web.mit.edu.
+
+Most other MIT hosting options will also reveal the owner’s
+identity
+publicly through Moira’s hostname registry. If you wish to have a
+truly
+anonymous website, you’ll need to get hosting independent of the
+MIT
+infrastructure.
