<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:5.4pt">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.<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">This “cultural” explanation is incorrect. American privacy advocates and public interest groups (such as IGP or EPIC) were leading the opposition to Whois, while
European law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and GAC members were (and to some extent still are) defending it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The real explanation relies on the economic interests of particular users of the data. Trademark and brand protection agencies around the world (not just America)
found open Whois very convenient, as did LEAs. Security firms were getting free access to and monetizing the data.

<p class="MsoNormal">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 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... <o:p></o:p></p>
