In every way. The US controls the TLDs and many of the core resolvers.
- emteycz 5y agoThe US doesn't control the national TLDs nor the .eu TLD in any way. The core resolvers can be replaced at a moment's notice in case of problems.
- kasey_junk 5y agoThis doesn’t address the tld issue and does it matter if a lot of people use US authoritative resolvers? Each domain can choose and the protocol isn’t biased towards US controlled infrastructure. I can see the value in dns as public utility (though one I’d be skeptical about using or paying for) but this doesn’t seem to do what the OP suggests on the US independence front because DNS is already independent. I’d be a lot more understanding of a public email provider than DNS to promote a break with US infrastructure.
- toyg 5y agoEmail would be fun. Beyond the rhetoric, a lot of EU governments are actually quite tyrannical when it comes to intercepting or seizing communications, compared to the US.
