The idea of having to post my full name, phone number and address publicly on the Internet is absurd. It is dangerous and doesn't actually serve any purpose (especially when WhoisGuard exists). But, like many things related to ICANN (think domain parking), it is just another way to squeeze money out of us. I have no doubt that the people selling "WHOIS anonymization" have a lot of pull in the ICANN. The GDPR is a great excuse for this. We need more registars and registries to start resisting - they can't sue everyone.
