gchristensen: fwiw, company data is exempt from the GDPR so WHOIS-wise it *should* only affect individuals
<makefu>
joepie91: however whois is filled with personally identifiable data. for example when i personally wanted to register a domain i had to add my personal data
<joepie91>
makefu: yes, I'm only talking about company data
<makefu>
i am pretty sure that right now they simply cannot distinguish between the two
<joepie91>
makefu: your registrar should have asked you whether you're a business or an individual during registration :)
<joepie91>
(for VAT reasons)
<samueldr>
per-country legislations makes internet hard :/
<samueldr>
(or economic zones/whatever europe can be called)
<makefu>
there are corner cases with companies which are essentially a single person. not sure how this is handled right now
<samueldr>
I'm wondering how you know an individual is european if you don't outright ask if they are
<samueldr>
(not whois-specific)
<joepie91>
makefu: that corner case is undefined for most of existing law too :D
<joepie91>
makefu: we still have the fun situation where in NL, you're required to keep your SSN secret, but you're required to publish your tax number, but as a sole trader your tax number contains your SSN
<joepie91>
(required to publish your tax number, if you're a business, that is)
<lassulus>
people could have hashed the SSN ;)
<lassulus>
s/could/should/
<Reaktor|krebs>
lassulus meant: people should have hashed the SSN ;)
<samueldr>
wouldn't (assuming 9) 9 digits be trivial to rainbow table?

yeah
<joepie91>
there's no reason for the tax number to correspond to SSN anyway
<joepie91>
neither hashed nor otherwise :)
