It would be nice if allocations would be revoked due to invalid/fake contact

That?s been debated many times, in most of the RIRs, and has not resulted in
any persistent policies that I remember offhand. The tide may turn, as it
were, if problems get sufficiently bad, at which point these sorts of policies
might receive sufficient support to be passed, and stick.
Which, of course, would not actually cause address space to be magically
returned to the RIR. The RIRs are not the Internet Police and attempting to use
the Whois database as a stick to beat ?bad? ISPs will simply result in the
Whois database becoming less and less relevant.
What might work would be for the RIRs to annotate registration data records with
stuff like "valid/invalid contact information? (accessible programmatically via
RDAP) and allow ISPs to build filters based on that annotation.
But yes, this has been debated many times and nothing ever seems to get done.
RBL / BGP blackholes based on bad registration info?
Could work.
