Ah, it's filtered.
Someone decides what "children" means. Someone decides what "safe" means.
There are people who think that not just under-16s, but almost everyone is incapable of making adult decisions. And different (responsible, informed) adults may come to different conclusions about what is and isn't safe.
Curated DNS may suit some people, but I appreciate having access to the real internet.
- xctr94 4y agoNonsense. You can choose which version to use, same with Cloudflare’s 3 different DNS choices.
- Mindwipe 4y agoAnd much like Cloudflare the lack of accountability and clumsy blocking schema of the "child safe" one is dangerous and worthy of criticism.
- mhitza 4y agoThere are separate dns servers, the one for kids is different from the one mentioned on the landing page.
- KingOfCoders 4y agoIf it's not for you it's not for you. I always wonder about people who go to a French restaurant and want Pizza.
- jMyles 4y ago> I always wonder about people who go to a French restaurant and want Pizza. To be fair, this is more like trying to lookup contact information for the local pizzeria, and realizing to your surprise that the phone book you've picked up has directed you to the French restaurant instead.
- bennyp101 4y agoWell sure, if you picked up the phonebook called "Pizza to French Cuisine" ....
- denton-scratch 4y agoWhen I first encountered pizza, I was a kid, and it was in France. For quite a few years, I thought pizza was a French thing. I'm not sure what your point is. I read the article because I'm interested in DNS; not because I'm researching 3rd-party resolvers. I run my own Unbound recursor.
- UncleEntity 4y agoProbably the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life was at a French restaurant in Vientiane, Laos. So, yeah…

- Aeolun 4y agoI’m now 35 and incapable of making adult decisions. Does that count?
- denton-scratch 4y agoI think there may be a 5-year window, perhaps from 60-65, when you are old enough but not too old. Older, and you're child-like because you're senile; younger, and you're naive, reckless, and under-informed.
- daneel_w 4y agoThey offer three families of resolvers: the default one which as far as I understand isn't curated at all, the "zero" one which is curated against "bad actors", and the "kids" one which you speak of.
- denton-scratch 4y ago> They offer three families of resolvers Yeah, I see. On first reading, that wasn't obvious to me. But a DNS provider that can filter, and that also purports to be something to do with the EU, presumably imposes EU-mandated filtering, whichever server you choose. Or it will, as soon as it's ordered to. I don't get why people use 3rd-party resolvers. It's not hard to set up an Unbound recursor.

- KingOfCoders 4y ago"presumably imposes EU-mandated filtering" Source?
- _hcuq 4y agoHe’s been triggered. He either didn’t read the article or doesn’t understand it.
- denton-scratch 4y agoIt's in France. It operates under French and EU jurisdiction. [Edit] So EU mandates will be enforced. Is that fact what you want a source for?
- questiond 4y agofrance is like the hub of content anarchism dude. culture matters, its not all about laws.
