ISP DNS blocking In Germany, DNS blocks have been carried out by ISPs for some time now. At the same time, they want to push through data retention without cause, etc.

Blocked domains

Well well, I was proven wrong :) I suppose the sites that didn't want to carry out the ID checks (which I assume is the problem) gets blocked from the country's side, that makes a lot of sense. I was actually thinking of Pornhub moving out of France and jumping to the wrong conclusion that surely all other porn sites are doing the same, but I suppose there are sites that just don't care, resulting in Germany having to block the non-complying sites from their side.

Germany simply wants to be the pioneer in surveillance and would prefer to leave even China behind (there are already future plans for an alternative to the Chinese social credit system). So I was all the more surprised that a no to chat control came or is coming from Germany. But surveillance and censorship are getting worse and worse at the same time as people want to make money from the public's personal data.... We also sovereignly screwed up the EU cloud with lobbying that it is only operated by American companies.
Well, DNS blocks can be bypassed pretty quickly, but you can already see where it's all going to end.
