WHOIS blackout period likely starting in May

Yeah, that's not how the law works, sorry about that. Every human has rights that cannot simply be waived because a website says so.

Everyone has a right to privacy, and that's what the GDPR is about ensuring for EU subjects. Your thinking is extinct and I strongly suggest changing it, or fading away like everyone else who feels the same way.

> Everyone has a right to privacy

This is far from an absolute. Each country more or less dictates the rights of their people, and many countries do not directly provide this right. As an example, the Indian supreme court only declared it a right last year, and most articles talking about it only list a very select few other countries as ones that provide this right.

Indian government mandates original information to be filled in RABT else the domain registrar can cancel your account.

And since GST, if you register a domain you are supposedly a business owner and need to provide a GST number mandatorily. Check these out with Net4.

Indian govt sucks big time when it comes to privacy.

And even where it is a right, it's not an absolute right - it has to be balanced with other rights and may be limited by laws.
