I noticed that tiktok.com is missing, so this list might have been compiled sometime before 2019. I wonder if you could write a script that pinpoints the exact month or even day.


I wrote a script: https://github.com/ndbroadbent/autofill_tld_whitelist_url_ag...

This attempts to scan WHOIS records for random domains in the list and try to find the most recent "registered at" date for a domain.

It's very unreliable. The whois-parser Ruby gem thought that giants.it was created on 2020-11-03 09:00:01, but I checked the record and it looks like it was actually created on 2009-09-28 11:00:43.

It looks like nature-in-art.org.uk was first registered on 21-Jul-2019

I don't know if this would provide any useful information. It would take at least a year for a brand new domain to make it into this list. And I don't know if the "created at" date can be trusted, maybe it gets reset whenever a domain is transferred, or lapses and then gets renewed.

In conclusion, I don't think this idea works at all.
