I'm sorry, but that assertion is not even wrong. The GDPR affects entities that process or control data related to EU people. It is not about technical specifications that someone subject to the GDPR might use at some future time. It's up to the processors and controllers to figure out if they're subject to the GDPR and if so how their processing complies with it (keeping in mind that "consent" is pretty low on the list of criteria.) I don't plan to further engage with this unfounded line of argument. For anyone interested in actual work, the ICANN EPDP on this topic is grinding along and it seems reasonably likely that they will have sort of reverse search, maybe plain text, maybe hashed identifiers so you can ask questions like what are all the domains with the same contact address as this one without knowing what the contact address is.
