What will be better with my services, when i publish my name? Do
you
know me? What will prevent me to publish fictive name or use
someone
else to register domain for me? You do not need know me, you only
need
to know, if my servers abuse you or not. Nothing more, nothing
less,
exactly as on the street. Or do you care about identity of all
people
on the street, which want something from you? I doubt...
It's accountability. If you published fake info you could lose the
domain. If you abuse me and I know who you are, I know who to file a
police report / lawsuit against. There are many legitimate use cases
for
anonymity, but plenty more cases where it's used to protect and
safeguard abusive people from being held accountable in public.

is rumored to have said:
While i cannot comment mentioned OVH domain, i will ask, why
anyone
have to know from WHOIS of my domain my name, or my address or
anything
about me as private person? Yes, if someone has archive of
WHOIS
response, it was there and i was not happy from that. Are you
having
label with these info at top of face when you are walking on
the
street?
Bad analogy.
Good analogy, as street is as public as the Internet is. You do
not
answer if are you publishing your identity on the street.
Owning an operational domain name makes you a public person. A
domain
name is a claim on a specific piece of the public commons of the
DNS.
In many places (including the US and at least some European
countries) you can only own land if your 'title' to that land is
registered with the government in an open public record. In the
US,
that title includes the record of past ownership and even sales
prices. A domain name is intrinsically connected to public
interaction.
And that is what GDPR exactly prevents. That anyone want/require
that
others have to publish, what they don't want, only because they
want to
know it. The RFC defines ways how to contact domain's services
maintainers (postmaster, hostmaster, abuse, etc). What more you
need to
know?

When you look at RFC, you will found, that it say about server's
identity (HELO/EHLO) nothing more, nothing less. And even tells,
that
no one have to reject emails based on that identity checks...
I do not know how in USA, but in our country the government has
tools
to know my identity, if there is legal reason (and court approve
it).
How legal is your reason, beside that you want to know it?
In our country's neighbor, here is one saying (i will no try to
translate it): "jména hloupých na všech sloupích", see
