Re: [gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Facebook loses Belgian court case over consent and tracking
Thank you for your helpful, concise but erroneous contribution. The difference between whois details and DNS entries, name servers, etc is that the latter are actually technically necessary to provide the service, so comparing the two is like comparing apples to elephants. Not even in the same classification of life. Volker

Since most registrars are also hosting providers/mail providers, would criminals storing stolen PII on your servers be a GDPR issue? After all, the ultimate owner of the server is also considered a "processor", which has interesting implications if one's customers include phishers, or sell stolen credit cards, and one's already been notified. I have even seen miscreants putting doxes in TXT records.
I already know of quite a few incidents where people would have had standing to file a GDPR complaint against registrars/hosters, unrelated to WHOIS.
Eventually the issue is going to impact the core business model of registrars. This isn't going to stop at WHOIS. An open dialog with the DPAs at an early stage is of utmost importance for all parties involved here.

Hi Sam,
When you say these are hundred million dollar issues for "the companies",which companies are you talking about? Large Registrars?
I hope you are not comparing cybersecurity professionals and the good work they are trying to enable, to a completely separate privacy issue around data used for ad tracking or behavior tracking across websites. If I spent my days trying to protect people on the internet from bad things, I would certainly not appreciate any allusion that I was engaged on the whois data issue 'for the money'.

Actually this is wrong. There are use cases for registering domains that don’t resolve at all. Especially for brand protection. There are use cases for domains that don’t UNIVERSALLY resolve. But you point out what we all know. Registrars are just going to shut down RDS/whois and its unclear why we bother with this discussion when we you’ve already states your endgame. -- John Bambenek

Hi Sam,
When you say these are hundred million dollar issues for "the companies",which companies are you talking about? Large Registrars?
I hope you are not comparing cybersecurity professionals and the good work they are trying to enable, to a completely separate privacy issue around data used for ad tracking or behavior tracking across websites. If I spent my days trying to protect people on the internet from bad things, I would certainly not appreciate any allusion that I was engaged on the whois data issue 'for the money'.
Tim
