IMHO privacy is important. If a domain owner wants to be contacted, they know where to put their contact info.

  If you're a business, you should be required to have the actual name and address of the company in Whois. That's a requirement for the .us TLD, by the way.

    Guess what, corporate contact information does not fall under GDPR.
    • Animats 2y ago
      Right, that falls under the European Directive on Electronic Commerce, which is strongly against business anonymity.

    The law already forces you to put it clearly in your site, AFAIK.

      In which jurisdictions? California law does, if you accept payments. It's not, as far as I know, a US federal requirement.

        Sorry, I thought we were talking about the GDPR context. Don't know about other jurisdictions.
