This is the problem though: there is no single identifiable authority
(data controller in GDPR jargon) with whom to make such an agreement.
Keyservers are distributed not just operationally and geographically,
but also legally. Furthermore, it is not always the data owner who
uploads it to the keyserver network, so neither party to the GDPR
consent model need be present during the transaction, or need even exist.
