[Ayden Férdeline]

Great news!

The European Commission has today proposed updating a regulation re: the .EU ccTLD to make it clear that WHOIS data must be explicitly subjected to privacy protections:

“2. The WHOIS database shall contain relevant information, which is not excessive in relation to the purpose of the database, about the points of contact administering the domain names under the .eu TLD and the holders of the domain names. Where the domain name holder is a natural person, the information that is to be made publicly available shall be subject to the domain name holder’s consent within the meaning of Regulation 2016/679. ”
