This looks like such a non issue to be honest. Government branches should have technical and legal capabilities to block domestic and foreign hosts. Legitimate foreign service providers, should either comply with local government, cease operations in that country, or be prepared for war.
I wonder if it's possible to just use Yandex DNS. Russia won't comply obviously.
If it is what public DNS providers do, then they should get a bad reputation and then people should not use them. People can make their own, and/or to just use IP addresses directly (or other methods) if they know what they are from other sources. You can also use the hosts file.
So, with 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 being useless then, what DNS Server is recommended going forward?
The title on the website is “Google, Cloudflare & Cisco Will Poison DNS to Stop Piracy Block Circumvention”. Curious why Cloudflare has been singled out in the submission title?
Fixed now, although leaving out the court order is also misleading. If anyone wants to suggest an accurate, neutral title that gets it all under the 80 char limit, we can change it again.

Apple have repeatedly thrown their customers under the bus especially in China. At least Google had the courage to withdraw entirely.
Google never left China, they literally just moved to a new building on the other side of the road (in Zhongguancun, Beijing). They even “left a couple of boxes there”[1].

You can buy an iPhone there today, and Apple has agreements with China to hand over user data and has done so in the past.

Why should we not want this when the law is bad? The government should face pushback from all sides when attempting something odious.
It's a democratic country. The voters decide if the laws their government passes are bad or not.
