🚨 WHOIS privacy is under pressure.
GoDaddy is challenging an Indian court ruling that could fundamentally change how domain privacy works by requiring:
🔹 Mandatory e-KYC for domain registrations
🔹 WHOIS privacy no longer enabled by default
🔹 Registrars to disclose registrant details within 72 hours to parties claiming a "legitimate interest"
This isn't just about India.
The outcome could influence domain privacy, ICANN policy, RDAP adoption, cybersecurity investigations, trademark enforcement, and the future of online anonymity worldwide.
I break down:
✅ What the court actually ordered
✅ Why GoDaddy is appealing
✅ How WHOIS and RDAP really work
✅ The privacy vs law enforcement debate
✅ What it means for domain owners, security researchers, and businesses
