One, IP addresses in some cases are PII (see here:
https://eugdprcompliant.com/personal-data/).

Two, in some cases whois data is NOT PII (i.e. role based accounts,
which are allowed here).

You could set contact info to "Mail Administrator" and
"ab...@domain.com" and that's fine here.

If you put personal information, that's your choice. If you put
role-based info, that's your choice. Same as what you post on twitter,
facebook, or whatever. This enables the choice to "self-dox" (something
I think is an odd formulation.
