A fucking DNS resolver. And just blocking it in Germany isn't enough because VPNs exist.

Holy fucking hell what an insane judicial overreach.

This is like suing google because maps has address of places where crimes are committed, and judges agreeing with you.

I could see some of the forced incubator states trying to do this with abortion and birth control stuff.

The global block really is stretching it, plus Quad9 is based in Swiss, not Germany. One company's copyright shouldn't be a reason to cripple Internet infrastructures globally.

Let's hope they win the appeal.
