@jackemled @dotmeow that is a very good question

@jackemled @dotmeow it's an European org. So no.

@fuchsi @dotmeow I can't find anything saying that European TLDs don't or can't have WHOIS privacy. .eu actually seems to have it enabled by default.

@fuchsi @dotmeow Nevermind, multiple bad sources. I finally found something on whois.com & it does say .eu doesn't have it. I don't see why other TLDs can't have it though.

@jackemled @fuchsi

Heya, actually EU means it's more /likely/ to be potentially with whois privacy. But we cannot talk to much about this, as this is not our decision in the end, but a discussion about international regulations and conflicts b/w ICANN and EU GDPR etc.

From our POV: We want to be as private as reasonably possible and don't have interest in storing/collecting your data.

@dotmeow @jackemled @fuchsi the .pl TLD solved this by making WHOIS privacy mandatory for natural persons and unavailable for companies

@lunareclipse @fuchsi @jackemled Yep, but this is nothing that the registry has sole say on :/

But yes, we'll do what we can.
