Webmasters, website admins and hosters should from time to time feel the pulse of their DNS health, like here at DNS Inspect: http://www.dnsinspect.com/ 
With a lot of issues this produces  information to better target misconfigurations and reports for hosters etc. to cure where issues could occur or already have materialized.
The dark side of malcreants does not leave a chance pass to be able to cooperate to better be able to abuse. The good side's analysts and researchers often fail to spread such info and rather sit on their expertise or often  have their hands bound on their backs by ignoring and restrictive management. Even some cold reconnaissance scannings of sorts could get them into problems if they haven't achieved explicit written permission to perform these. If we all do not change this, we will never get away from the situation at hand where the dark forces always will have the better of us all.

Website Status 451, website cannot be visited because legally restricted. When the code is not shown it could be government censorship that one tries to hide (policor (social) media censorship etc. etc.) Another issue to reckon with on the free Interwebs.
Read about this new http statuscode: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-legally-restricted-status/
Why it was brought in, read: https://www.mnot.net/blog/2015/12/18/451

Consumers should act against Big Data Slurpers: https://www.enisa.europa.eu/activities/identity-and-trust/library/deliverables/big-data-protection/at_download/fullReport  = ENISA's good practice in information security report.
Big Data Analytics means a big privacy risk. Only after Big Data Breaches anyone stirs a finger or rather all goes on as usual.
The general public is not aware of the privacy risks involved while growing dependant on using this Big Data Slurping Tools like PSM services. (Private Social Media, a contradictio in terminis).

Some would not like such a policy and/or rather choose another vendor: http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/blackberry-ceo-it-s-a-social-responsibility-to-give-police-data-in-some-cases-1.2707179

No at any cost isn't always the wises choice. Yes without a just cause is just as incorrect. (IMHO)

Hi bob3160,

Well software management cannot take the seat of a judge, as a software vendor cannot discriminate until a subject has been found guilty.
So who is to decide here that  the police should get such data and on what grounds? You cannot take the law into their own hands.
Well at least not in Europe. Well and it also will backfire, a vendor that starts to do these kind of things will be left with no unique selling point left.
