Title is misleading, from the article:

> We sent notices to Whoisguard between October 2018 and February 2020, and despite their obligation to provide information about these infringing domain names, they declined to cooperate.

Title should be closer to "Facebook sues Namecheap/Whoisguard for not providing information on phishing domain registrants"

[yuters]

The phishing sites should be taken down no questions, but what's the obligation for WhoisGuard to provide information to an Internet company? Shouldn't they provide information only to legal authorities?

[gertrunde]

Surely it's just a WHOIS privacy service?

Surely they should provide the information in response to any reasonable request?

(* reasonable request is obviously a bit vague and needs clarification, but I think there really does need to be a proper policy/procedure for this - WHOIS existed for a reason, and that reason hasn't gone away just because access to that data has been abused).

opening paragraph: "This week we filed a lawsuit in Arizona against Namecheap, a domain name registrar, as well as its proxy service, Whoisguard, for registering domain names that aim to deceive people by pretending to be affiliated with Facebook apps"

[Terretta]

Who is the registrant who registered the name? Who is the registration service that recorded the registration? Who requested the name be proxied by a registered name holder?

Which of these actors had 'intent' for the letters in the name?

Yes, the title should be fixed.
