I work in a registry which has whois obligations over number resources and I find this very troubling. I'm not going to say there is no right to privacy here, but I suspect states inside the EU will be seeking high privileged rights to information not in whois, come what may. So, this disempowers people seeking redress from harm as outsiders but doesnt stop state actors or lawyers or police.
Apart from my dayjob I have whois objects in DNS registries so i know there is the other side of the coin. I see the bad stuff from choosing not to hide my ID.
