> Personally, coming from communism, I fear the nanny state more than I fear big companies from other countries. I am from Slovenia and I know exactly what you mean, and agree 100% with that. I just think that in the end POE is worse, since I think it will result in concentration of something that was widespread (plenty of small ISP's and providers), into few bigger and easier to backdoor providers. So it will be easier to monitor then before. And I don't think think that western democracies and "democracies" will just throw in their towel. I trust Cloudlfare and Google less than I trust my ISP, if nothing else their budget (and competence, and reach) is much lower(isp's). I mean gmail and outlook are much more competently run than most ISP's and businesses ran their mail servers. I am afraid something similar can happen here. > DoH is first of all a protocol. If you run your own DNS resolver at home, surely you'll be able to run your own DoH server too. Packets never leave local network. The advantage of DoH is that it's over https, so if you don't control your firewall you can still use it. But if you control your own network, DoH is not that useful, since you still have to support old DNS for all the applications and devices that don't support DOH. If someone can listen on your LAN you have bigger problems than someone being able to intercept your DNS queries. Not saying there are no advantages, it just isn't a priority.
