What the current system does: a private person who registers multiple domains with his own name and then proceeds to spam email users, that person can blacklisted effectively because his persona information can be fetched and matched.
A spam virus is not the problem here, because personal data does not reliably connect infected domains.
And spam companies are not problem here, because GDPR is not concerned with companies.
The person who uses several domains to spam needs to be somewhat aware that he is spamming. But he also needs to be incredibly idiotic to connect his spam domains with his personal info.
Even if WHOIS going down is short term tragedy to anti-abuse, GDPR does not seem to prevent building a replacement that works well enough.
