I am surprised with such sentiments every time I hear them. How do you envision running a server in EU without complying with the EU laws and obeying the court orders?
- sneak 5y agoThere's a significant stretch between "running a server [...] complying with the EU laws" and using DNS to do mass censorship. Censorship is abhorrent, and mass, government-mandated censorship even moreso. End to end encrypted DNS resolution (via DoH) needs to be widely deployed. Using unencrypted, unauthenticated protocols in 2022 is madness. DNS is closer to Telnet than it is to the modern web.
- southerntofu 5y agoThe thing is there's not exactly one unified EU legislation. You would need to abide by the laws and regulations of the country hosting your server, yes. But that country may have regulations that are incompatible with EU laws: for example France's data retention laws are illegal by EU standards (like many other human-rights-infringing laws in France). Then of course i can see valid reasons not to obey unjust laws whether that's in Europe or elsewhere.
