At least now no one has to pay to have their information protected

So I received the following email from my registrar:

It's kind of hard to review my information when it's protected from my viewing it for my protection. I think my registrar is going a bit overboard in complying with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) [5].

Sigh.
