Web domain owners paid EasyDNS to cloak their contact info from sight. It was blabbed via public Whois anyway

@katrinab:"Actually, the GDPR says you can’t do that anymore unless you opt in to having your details disclosed. Some big companies opt in, most don’t."

GDPR only protects EU citizens and their data. Someone in the US or Canada for example has no recourse to GDPR.

Why are registrars still publishing this info anyway? Most of us opt not to have our name/address/phone number in a phone book, yet we're fine with our personally identifiable info being published to a much larger audience online?
