- anthropodie 2y agoIt's crazy how many people just read the headline and choose to comment or upvote these links. Also, why the title is not same as the article? It makes no sense.
- mattl 2y agoThe site tweaks some words out of titles
- jader201 2y agoTo be fair, OP never said this was necessarily related directly to the article. I’ll often post loosely related tangents like this because I would enjoy discussing the tangent with the HN crowd, but there’s often not a better opportunity to discuss it, so why not while we’re sort of on the topic anyway. Ack that I don’t think it makes sense to discuss not even remotely related topics. But as long as it’s in the ballpark and it’s not going against other guidelines and leads to interesting discussion, I think it’s fine.
- hyperbrainer 2y agoIndeed. Furthermore, the fact that there is still a replacement makes the discussion even more pertinent in this case, since OP is arguing for the abolition of any such protocol.

- whalesalad 2y agoTangentially - RDAP was created partially to resolve issues with PII in WHOIS
- raldi 2y agoFrom the link: RDAP offers several advantages over WHOIS including [...] the ability to provide differentiated access to registration data.
- kelnos 2y agoIn other words, it provides the ability to monetize and extract more money from people. Like we need more of that...
- ForOldHack 2y agoYou clearly read that from a few miles. It is that obvious. Somewhere enshitification fits all over the place.
