The EU law is not about anonymous registrations, nor OPOC or any other proposal currently under consideration would allow anonymous registrations (well, not more anonymous than they already can be). It would just restrict access to personal information to public authorities, which are accountable to the general public.
That agrees with my understanding. With that in mind, why is anyone in favor of OPOC for the majority of WHOIS data that is not for natural persons? What basis is there for restricting access to info about businesses and organizations?
