[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Discriminatory rds Data Privacy Standards

[sivasubramanian muthusamy]

Private persons (including private persons in a public career or a career
of public exposure) need privacy. Why is this notion extended to protect
online commercial entities of varying ethical standards? Does
Yourairlinereservations.onlinecommerce have a right to privacy of its
Registrant data?

Their customers don't look for contact information from RDS, but in the
entity's commercial web site, but the information is not there. Many online
entities operate from behind layers of veil that separate them from
customers and enable them to carry on their commercial activity with
minimal or non-existent accountability.

Yourairlinereservations.onlinecommerce sells millions of air tickets but
does not seem to have a building somewhere, and/or does not have an
employee with a name. Yourairlinereservations.onlinecommerce takes your
money, takes your information without disclosing any of its own, and does
not have a phone number or answer email messages (operates through call
centers, answers email messages by templates) when you are stranded Midway
with a ticket that doesn't work. Yourcasino takes your credit card number,
yourpharmacy takes your money and medical data, yourholiday owns your
passport, and all these entities don't have an email address, phone number
or a building with a person.

Could we do away with this notion of (Registrant)data privacy where it
concerns an online entity that carries out commercial monetary transactions
online? That would require us to discriminate between private persons and
e-commerce entities, which would be a complex process - agreed.
Nevertheless, could we think about this?
