How do those regulations work? Is it that anybody providing DNS in any way must block resolution of these addresses, or is it that anybody acting as an ISP must block resolution on their default DNS service?
The latter seems more likely - it's much easier to regulate businesses providing a defined service rather than all servers supporting an arbitrary protocol.
- karel-3d 1y agoI don't know the details. They have ordered Google, Cisco and Cloudflare to block these on their public resolvers (so not just ISPs). I will google "Piracy Shield" to see the details. edit: it seems it's local court orders, ordering those specific companies to poison the DNS; it's not a law. So DNS4EU is fine for now.
