        <div>Dear all,</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I've been a silent reader until now because GDPR
          jurisprudence is still building up, and my daily GDPR
          compliance work doesn't qualify me to argue with a bunch of
          lawyers, but this is getting off track, and I feel that it is
          time to chime in. There is enough knowledge about Data
          Protection (DP) expressed via Article 29 Working Party (A29WP)
          over the years to clear issues like this without even having
          to talk about it.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>The only problem I see here is about culture. USA vs EU
          cultural gap. To any EU person, Whois has always been
          borderline illegal, but we didn't have any law like the GDPR
          yet. Therefore, we had to keep it to ourselves. Meanwhile,
          Americans made a lot of money by monetising the Right to
          Privacy offering Whois protection as a domain add-on. It's
          just as shameful as monetising public water.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Now we have the GDPR coming into force after two years
          grace period (I define those "2 years of denial"), and
          everybody tries to find a loophole in the GDPR to get away
          with DP violations. Well, let me break this to you guys: there
          aren't any loopholes, just accept this fact and move on.
          Google Spain ruling (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
            href="http://bit.ly/GoogleSpainRuling">http://bit.ly/GoogleSpainRuling</a>)
          should have clarified that in the EU we have a different
          approach to DP. If Google got kicked before the GDPR, do you
          think that now is the time to look for loopholes? Please... <br>
