If I want to register a domain and am told up front, in clear unambiguous language that the details I provide will appear in a publicly queryable database as part of the contract, job done. I may not like it. I may decide that I don’t want to enter into the contract. And that’s rather the point. Informed consent.

Would you be able to point to the section of the GDPR which states this? Admission: I have yet to make it to the end of the 88 pages of the act without falling asleep.

I appreciate a motion has been filed. However, I’d surprised if the case purely revolved around this single point.

It is positive that some of this stuff is going to be tested in court sooner rather than later. Having said that, it may be <sarcasm> a day or two </sarcasm> before we get to see a final judgement with no further appeals.

All the best
