Must say, I'm not a fan of yours or similar services, or whois databases for that matter. Privacy should be easier on the internet for people owning domain names.

Hi! The only way on the current Internet to remain anonymous is to obscure the domain registrant from right when the domain is initially registered. It's also important to use a service that pools a lot of domains together or have diversity in the hosting providers so they can't be easily correlated. We try and help people understand and make the problem visible. You bring up a good point that it should be easier.

A good option for people living in the EU is to register a .eu domain. For private individuals (like private non-commercial websites), the whois data is by default restricted to show an e-mail address only. (see section 2.4. in https://eurid.eu/en/other-infomation/whois-policy/)

This capability is already available to lots of large organisations.

Making it available to everybody just sheds light on the problem, it doesn't create the problem.
