Which is weird! In contrast, .ca hides whois by default for personal registrations.

And .de is schizophrenic, because a few years back there was a big kerfuffle about WHOIS data being public, as a result of which it is now hidden, however almost all German websites remain subject to mandatory imprint regulations. (The only true exceptions are things of limited public value, such as the log-in pages to password-protected stuff, or at most galleries of holiday snaps for family and friends, although ideally those should rather be password-protected, too. Anything else that's intended for the regular general public is at least in a grey area, even if it remains strictly non-commercial.)
