But at that point, you are effectively the ISP trying to control how users do DNS, in a way that might enable you to track/block/redirect. You might be trustworthy to your users so that is fine, but that isn't the case for every user's relationship with their service providers.
Is there an arrangement that would stop less trusted networks from tracking/redirecting/blocking DNS requests without (accidentally) helping AdTech by making DNS-based blocking harder?
