Changing one abuse for another is barely an improvement.
Regulations is what will force ISP to behave correctly and stop hijacking DNS queries.
For me, as European, it is worst to be spied by Google and my data given to the United States of America intelligence, than to depend on my ISP that is bounded to European laws and will know where I connect regardless.
Google is abusing its position and most users are not technical savvy enough to understand the implications.
- thanhhaimai 6y agoThis is a strawman. The context of the discussion is whether Google should be sending those DNS queries. The premises involved technical details about how heavy those DNS queries are. The DNS queries don't make things worse for the end-users privacy wise. Nobody is arguing that we should give Google more "abuse". There is an actual net negative of "abuse" in this case, by removing the abuse from the ISPs, with a solution that doesn't change your data privacy from Google.
