Regardless of what you think about this possible course of action, this is totally disingenuous. It’s like saying that 40 years ago removing some businesses from the yellow pages didn’t mean you couldn’t still call them - that’s technically correct, but you’d better have them in your address book already or know someone who does. Compound that problem with 1) needing a much bigger address book, 2) phone numbers changing and the same business potentially having many phone numbers to different parts of their business, 3) never having used a phone book before and not even having an address book to start with (using an IP address is totally out of the ordinary for many people, and may not even be supported by applications other than a web browser. If suddenly all the sites I visited were no longer available through my usual DNS providers, I wouldn’t be able to visit them).
- compsciphd 5y agothe point I was making, just removing .ru resolution, doesn't prevent them from accessing international sites. .com will still resolve. assuming google doesn't do ip filtering, seting your dns to 8.8.8.8 (or cloudflare or others) and .com will still resolve even if they remove the roots running in russia.
