"In which case I'm quite sure that, despite your protestations, you're aware that CH filings are statutory. Statutory data isn't affected by GDPR."

So what happens if, as I think I've read has been proposed, the US pass a law making it a statutory requirement for internet regstrars based in the US to make all this info publically available? I assume we end up with the same situation of UK press injunctions where UK news refers to cases involving people that cannot be named in the UK but whoi's names (nudge nudge) are being reported on US web sites.
