I wonder if Breyer was looking at an older version?
The version I'm looking at (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/docs_autres_institutions/commission_europeenne/com/2020/0823/COM_COM(2020)0823_EN.pdf https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/docs_autres_instituti...) doesn't include that quote that I can find. Maybe my version is out of date :)
I am cautious about rendering judgement on the actual policy one way or another. The current Whois policy is bad imo, and I don't necessarily trust the EU to make it better, but my very brief skim of the proposal suggests that this is more about enforcing the current policy then making a new one? There may be implementation details I am overlooking.
I think a lot of this depends on what the EU counts as "personal information" that registrars shouldn't publish, which I would assume includes real names, but I'm not an expert on GDPR laws. It would be better if disclosing this information wasn't required at all for registering a domain name, but I'm not sure that the proposal as described makes the situation worse, beyond just cementing it more as something the EU cares about.
