I disagree. The information is not being given out to the public.
Instead, it is given back to the domain owner whose name is being used.
I believe that if my name is used by someone, privacy laws should not
prevent me from being aware of that.
Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what you or I believe. Despite, I don't think
that EU privacy laws conflict with what can be done with SPFv1. And even if
they did, it would still be the responsibility of the user of the SPF client
what information to give out. So, no danger for SPF here.
Anyway, we should still take privacy problems into consideration when debating
potential new features. That's why I raised my objections.
Now I do support the idea of privacy, and I think that the US is
extremely weak on protecting privacy. But I also believe that the use
of my name is not a volation of privacy when it is divulged to me. If
the EU "protects" those who use other people's names in the context
where they are claiming to be that person, preventing the real name
owner from even being aware, then I'd say the EU has some serious
problems on the scale where violating the law is a just cause.
I don't think the EU has some serious problems on the scale where violating the
law is a just cause. See above. ;-)
