It's a DNS provider from the police, it would be bad for them if the couldn't resolve those domains

Quad9 is operated by the Quad9 Foundation, a Swiss public-benefit, not-for-profit foundation with the purpose of improving the privacy and cybersecurity of Internet users, headquartered in Zurich. It is the only global public resolver which is operated not-for-profit, in the public benefit.

Why do you say it's from the police?

Quad9 is from global cyber alliance and that is, among others, from the police of london (https://www.cityoflondon.police.uk/). they are listed among the partners on following site. I can't find another source right now. https://www.globalcyberalliance.org/become-a-partner/

That's a super tenuous connection. Having their name listed as a partner of a cyber alliance doesnt mean much.

Quad9 is entirely subject to Swiss privacy law, and the Swiss government extends that protection of the law to Quad9's users throughout the world, regardless of citizenship or country of residence

They are not at all subject to City of London laws.

Got anything concrete or...?
