I used to have a blog about software development about 8 years ago. I would constantly receive bodily harm threats from people that didn't like my articles...and this was non-aggressive articles about databases.

I'm glad I had Whois privacy in this situation, because I wouldn't want someone sending things to my house or contacting my family.

Not allowing privacy will more easily allow anyone to get harassed for their personal beliefs.

I feel like after the election, the world has started to get more fascist. Everyone wants to weed out and punish anyone that supports Trump.


Add to this the fact that real name policies are difficult to enforce and require ICANN to become a centralized legion of bureaucratic paperwork.
