"The Court wasn’t receptive to this argument, as the DNS resolver already actively blocks malware as one of its features." This is a very important statement and that's precisely why 'malware' filtering was and is a bad idea. One basically ceased to be uninvolved party. I haven't ever used Quad9, however I tried 1.1.1.1 in the past. Unfortunately they were blocking or not resolving plenty of domains. That was during the peak COVID. Privately employee told me that they were filtering 'fake news' sites about COVID. As a collateral plenty of legit content were blocked. Also I was told that block lists or similar won't be released that 'bad actors' won't workaround.
