Paying for WHOIS protection
Depending on your location, GoDaddy may encourage the sale of WHOIS protection. This, essentially translates to you paying for the protection of your privacy.
However, since the protection of personal data is only included for EU users, I assume that GoDaddy follows a minimally viable privacy program, prioritizing commercial interest over basic privacy rights of international users.

The fact that GoDaddy aims to make a profit by charging people for basic privacy protection seems unethical. [...] Being one of the largest domain registrars out there, GoDaddy has the opportunity to lead the privacy movement by example.

From a legal perspective, GoDaddy played well around the GDPR. But, from a business and ethics perspective, they should do better.
