Does this mean that whois information can come back? The destruction of the whois databases by GDPR really made the internet a more closed, proprietary place. No more could one just contact the people behind any domain and communicate... pretty much impossible after GDPR came into effect. Especially if you don't use twitter/corporate crap.

That was already the case for the majority of domains.

We must have lived on different internets. I have much lived experience of finding cool domains, looking up their email, and talking to them all the way up to GDPR coming into effect. "whois privacy" options at registrars were starting to take off but at least those still had the email to contact. Now it's nothing.

I for one like it to be able to post stuff on my website without the risk of someone sending me pizza or swat teams to my home address...
