The guy behind Shit Rentals has made a free public database for tenants

Isn't the logo just a unicode character? The X in X.Org is 2 seperate pieces that bend away from each other at the center.

I would very much talk with a lawyer first.

These kinds of things crop up every few years and either become dens of racism or get sued to oblivion. And the UK has some pretty hefty libel laws

Not to be a crypto-bro, but if you bought a domain and hosting from, say njal.la or incognet using Monero and you only connected to your hosts to SSH/FTP behind a good VPN, there's not much anyone could do to discover who you are.

Are you Jordie van den Berg? Cool name btw. Very German. Reminded me of Paul van Dyk. Why haven't you created one for Germany? Are you a German in Australia?

With respect to building on efor the UK - I think it'd be popular in the UK. We've got more people renting now and house prices are becomign impossible for people to get. We also have a lot of MPs who are landlords so a database like this would highlight conflicts of interest! For example the current Tory government announced protections for tenants by removing no-fault evictions. Homelessness went through the roof as landlords stated evicting people before the law came out. Those that managed to hang on had their rents increased by huge amounts. (e.g. mine went £625-£750).

The government have yet to implement it. Some papers highlighted a hefty number of current Tory MPs are landlords who profited from the rent increase following the announcement.

The more I think about it the more I think this would be popular in a lot of countries as houses becoming a luxury/investment isn't unique to Aus and the UK.
