Default Whois could be killed off in EU

GDPR prevents Whois from working

Europe's data protection authorities have effectively killed off the current service, noting that it breaks the law and so will be illegal come 25 May, when GDPR comes into force.

ICANN now has a little over a month to come up with a replacement to the decades-old service that covers millions of domain names and lists the personal contact details of domain registrants, including their name, email and telephone number. ICANN has already acknowledged it has no chance of doing so.

The company warns that without being granted a special temporary exemption from the law, the system will fracture. "Registries and registrars would likely implement varying levels of access to data depending on their interpretations of the law", ICANN warns.
