### Explanation
Due to restrictions like GDPR, personal data of chat owners is currently unavailable for websites in European Union countries. However, owners from other countries also hide their information by using domain registrar options for concealment. Despite this, historical whois information about owners often sheds light on who owned or managed the website previously, which turns out to be exceptionally useful for identifying the website's owner.
