[RDS-WHOIS2-RT] ICANN takes legal action in respect to GDPR

[Carlton Samuels]

I read the pleading eventually and in fairness to Jones Day, they threw
everything they got into their filing, the baby and bathwater included.  So
naturally the overreach on trademark and content regulation that Milton and
them getting excited about made its way there.

Comparing the arguments presented to the directives of the GDPR, self
defeat seems evident. So maybe it is a fiendishly clever legal strategy at
play and this is a test case to get a few markers down for the big one. But
from the pleadings of facts and intended outcome, this one, IMHO, is as
weak as a strain of denatured bacteria.
