In article <74e76405-3dec-2c6e-16c9-6c19bba76b2b@article19.org> you write:

Nothing it says is specifically wrong, but the article just recycles
the usual academic bias and preconeptions about the DNS.  It skips
over the reality that the vast majority of domain names are registered
by legal entities, not people, and doesn't even consider the extent to
which WHOIS info is used (or at least was used when it was available)
to protect phishing and other attacks against individuals privacy
and security.
