They are not just going after phishing sites but sites criticizing and protesting Facebook and it's other social media apps. There's a good chance it's a normal person behind those sites. See: https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/15/21291666/ebay-employees-arrested-journalist-harassment https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/15/21291666/ebay-employees-a... Why does anyone think this won't happen to normal site owners?

I mean, normal site owners often get this service through their registrar for free nowadays. I run one of my project sites, https://dotbun.com https://dotbun.com, through google domains, and they just obfuscate your details as part of the purchase unless you opt out. Take a look at my domain's whois info: https://www.whois.com/whois/dotbun.com https://www.whois.com/whois/dotbun.com You will see that the name and org. aren't just redacted; they are in care of a company called "Contact Privacy Inc." There's nothing for ICANN to unmask for FB in this case. They'd have to go to the company, and given that said company's entire business model is privacy, I would expect it to be a much more difficult argument. Now, let me be clear that I don't like Facebook's actions here one bit. I just suspect it may be less of an issue that some people think.
