sadly we've had this situation happening several times in the past as well, the GDPR rules aren't actually novel in Europe. There is however a lot of FUD involved in it, and the actual legal action for a keyserver to be shut down has yet to be seen (in a non-voluntary basis). I'm happy to stay up for a while until we see any actual legal challenge to it. In any case, the discussions we've seen lately aren't really about security; nor really about privacy; they are about argumentum ad hominem against the operators of the traditional keyserver network, in favor of alternative communication channels and in particular certificate authorities in the form of "validating keyservers". I don't care much for them for various reasons, but I also don't mind them being a part of the ecosystem (as long as users understand their position). -- ---------------------------- Kristian Fiskerstrand Blog: https://blog.sumptuouscapital.com Twitter: @krifisk ---------------------------- Public OpenPGP keyblock at hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net fpr:94CB AFDD 3034 5109 5618 35AA 0B7F 8B60 E3ED FAE3 ---------------------------- "Expect the best.
