    French people really like to protest, so maybe we can teach them all to set up their own DNS resolvers with Raspberry Pis?

    It would be a really, really difficult law to police if individuals were all managing their own DNS resolvers.

      Sure we do, but you cannot expect everyone to simply run their own DNS and call it a day.

      The vast majority of people don’t even know that DNS even exist, let alone that your ISP can monitor/alter your traffic through it.

        I’ll admit, it’s a much less “exciting” way to protest than flipping cop cars and starting fires.

          And eventually they’ll just ban personal DNS resolvers and force you to do the latter anyways.
