“Once the tools of censorship are built, they are rarely used sparingly or justly,”

Nice.

    Are they trying to force DNS resolvers to become authoritative entities...? Like bro they're just supposed to route me to an IP. It's not on them to block content based on what others want.

    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.

    Maybe time to switch to I2P for torrenting and doing my part for a more free open internet? Any Other alternative?

    They're suspending service to French users, not physically leaving (I don't know where they are). It seems they're not sure how to do that, though.

    Simple geoblocking IP tables or firewall rule. There’s no way their team couldn’t figure this out, Google has the answer.

    I don't think folks like them would bother with geoblocking, given their principle. Most likely the French govt would block them first.
