I think that question is disingenuous,  The level of specificity of IP
Whois has always been granularly set so that the appropriate folk can
be contacted in case of network trouble/abuse/DDos/outage, not for any
socio-economic reason.

No one has ever suggested it IIRC, if you have a policy proposal in
this regard, you know where to send it.
