- throw0101a 6y agoIt wasn't GCHQ, it was UK ISPs: * https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/06/mozilla_ukisp_vallain/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/06/mozilla_ukisp_valla... They have (had?) a requirement to block certain sites (e.g., CP), and their CEOs could be sent to jail if they didn't. So from their perspective, Mozilla was not doing a good thing as it was causing them grief in being able to follow the law: > for their proposed approach to introduce DNS-over-HTTPS in such a way as to bypass UK filtering obligations and parental controls, undermining internet safety standards in the UK * https://www.ispa.org.uk/ispa-announces-finalists-for-2019-internet-heroes-and-villains-trump-and-mozilla-lead-the-way-as-villain-nominees/ https://www.ispa.org.uk/ispa-announces-finalists-for-2019-in... So yeah, I can understand why they'd be salty. As someone who works in IT I'm also salty at DoH for similar netsec reasons. (DoT is another matter.)
