That's a rather pejorative way to dismiss the privacy concerns of over 100,000,000 registrants. These are registrant of domain names, domain names which by the current rules require that they provide accurate whois/ownership information.
These rules may be, and ought to be changed. They are not carved in stone. As I mentioned before, it is very sad that Facebook gives more respect to privacy than does ICANN. --karl--
