That's one of the reasons they are appealing:
> German court decisions are normally limited to Germany, which is why Quad9 has implemented geoIP on its infrastructure in Germany to prevent the domain names in question to be resolved for users querying from Germany. However, there are loopholes, such as VPNs, beyond Quad9’s control. The court deemed this not to be sufficient. The court’s decision ignored the VPN concept and implies that Quad9 must block these domains regardless of how users reach them or from what nation those intentionally disguised queries originate. Quad9 believes this is an exceptionally dangerous precedent that could lead to future global-reaching commercialized and political censorship if DNS blocking is applied globally without geographic limitations to certain jurisdictions.
- ExoticPearTree 3y agoI am curious how you a German magistrate thought it has jurisdiction over what happens in other countries. This is mind boggling.
- em-bee 3y agowhile i disagree with the ruling, that is not what is happening. they are ruling on what happens on a german server. the question is, if something that is illegal in a country, may still be produced in the country if it is only offered outside of that country. this is certainly not clear-cut.
- Eduard 3y agoSo Quad4 wants to avoid the profileration of a precedent which in turn may be used in further (international) jurisdictions as an argument pro DNS censorship?
