If WHOIS is destroyed, your contact information will still be known by everybody you&#x27;re in contact with, many you&#x27;ve only met, possibly many you haven&#x27;t met but want to meet, and millions of employees of companies you&#x27;ve interacted with. There is no meaningful difference between that and public information.<p>It is Amazon&#x27;s absurd assumption that your contact information is private that is at fault here. Trying to ameliorate this by contacting fewer people is self-destructive, and cannot achieve complete security unless you&#x27;re willing to eliminate contact with everybody but those you trust with your accounts. Without a doubt it is Amazon&#x27;s policy that needs to change.
