Not having contact email addresses in WHOIS is asking for problems,

If I understand correctly, the GDPR doesn't provide the same
protection for companies as it does for individuals, so I don't see
how it
can affect role email addresses and registered corporate adddresses;
those should be able to stay in WHOIS.
(1) As I understand it, while not all info will be obscured from WHOIS,
the information that is obscured will be done across-the-board since
they don't have a reliable/fast method for making a distinction between
a organization's domain and a hobbyist's domain.
(2) They may also be attempting to obscure the personal details of
employees of an organization, too? (even an employee's name and email
address?)
(3) To the extend that they are able to make those distinctions,
suddenly... every criminal/scammer/spammer... will claim to be an
individual running that domain as a hobby! (and the work required to
sort all of that out is not going to happen!)
Actually, there are going to be many nefarious instances where criminals
and spammers "claim to be an individual running that domain as a hobby"
- due to this law - for other related reasons!
