Honestly i feel like all DNS providers should geoblock a country who does this for a day or a week to give them an idea of how the internet works. People who know will still have internet everyone else will learn a valuable lesson in this is not as simple as it looks.

    That could backfire proving that they "can" block "internet" though I'd think

    They can, the issue is accurately limiting the block only to users in France, as they reasonably refuse to make a French ordered block a worldwide one.

    If I was Quad9, I would request a list of every IP used in France from the courts that needs to be prevented from accessing the DNS, so that they can't use it. How else could Quad9 know which users they aren't allowed to legally serve, right?
