Good news, except for one thing:
> 12. Lawful filtering: Filtering of URLs leading to illegal content based on legal requirements applicable in the EU or in national jurisdictions (e.g. based on court orders), in full compliance with EU rules.
Don't get me wrong, I am a supporter of the EU in general, BUT... The heavy bureaucracy is the main reason for it's slow pace with just about everything. With this in mind, point 12 might put a lot of people in a long deadlock.
- jeroenhd 5y agoI don't necessarily see a problem with it. What it says is "this thing has to follow the law", because such censorship laws already exist across the EU, for better or for worse. It depends on how this is structured though, this might just as well be an attempt by the entertainment industry to extend their reach in blocking torrent sites. Perhaps that take is a little cynical, but I wouldn't be surprised. We'll have to see how this develops to be sure. I, for one, welcome a public European DNS resolver, because it allows the resolver to just focus on being a good resolver without relying on some kind of (usually shady) business model.
