Quad9 is leaving France over pirate site blocking orders, which makes it the second DNS resolver to leave the country. Quad9 will stop serving French users on November 24, after a Paris court set a €1,000 daily penalty for not blocking pirate tennis streams. Faced with this order and roughly 20 other pending French cases, Quad9 says that it has no other viable option left.
In the future, will we need VPNs that also change their DNS depending on which country the exit node is located in?
In the future, we will only use the clearnet for official functions.
I actually think the clearnet will just cease to exist. It will segment so that every country/jurisdiction has its own version of it. And then you’ll have the like singularly controlled corporate ecosystems like how so many people just think Facebook is the internet.
