What's more important? Data Privacy or Cybersecurity
- The Data Privacy camp,[2] such as proponents of GDPR, argues natural persons have a right to their privacy and encourages limiting broad access to accurate personal or identifying data.
- Cybersecurity workers and enthusiasts insist that data accuracy is important to mitigating DNS Abuse as law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies need it for notifying victims, acting as a dissuading factor for bad actors, and ultimately catching perpetrators.[3]
Will Ensuring Data Accuracy actually stop bad actors
- Data registration regulation flowing down the ICANN hierarchy may not reach malicious activity because hackers do not provide accurate email addresses, money trails, or registration data.[4]
