Some time ago, we were contacted by a group fighting against online CSAM, demanding that AdGuard DNS blocks the Archive.today website. This was only the beginning of a much larger story…
I feel like more people should know about this, specially the tech-native Lemmy audience that may be using Adguard DNS.
I’m glad they posted about the background, I was one of their pissed users on Github complaining about their sudden blocking of the 2nd largest archive site, while it wasn’t blocked by my UK ISP. (It didn’t emotionally help that as a paying AdGuard customer, I was spending money on a service that temporarily made my browsing experience worse.) Fortunately they managed to unblock it after a few days.
