but is it gluten free? /s at least it's not google or cloudflare
it's pretty funny how a completely irrelevant broken protocol that i don't actually needed (could just type the 4 IP digits) is the central talking point of politics junkies
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It seems pretty ridiculous to block those domains outright. There are plenty of legitimate government, tourist and local sites, which could at least be whitelisted. They've blocked UNICEF's link shortener: https://uni.cf
"They've blocked UNICEF's link shortener: https://uni.cf " Which I consider a good thing, why route links through the influence space of a country that is in a civil war with foreign mercenaries running parts of the show?
Doesn't disclose where their blocklists come from for the child product, hugely overblocks legitimate websites, has no appeals process for miscatagorisation. What an awful product.
Can you provide any examples of legitimate sites that they block on their "zero" resolvers?

IN A> safe for children Ah, it's filtered. Someone decides what "children" means. Someone decides what "safe" means. There are people who think that not just under-16s, but almost everyone is incapable of making adult decisions. And different (responsible, informed) adults may come to different conclusions about what is and isn't safe. Curated DNS may suit some people, but I appreciate having access to the real internet.
Nonsense. You can choose which version to use, same with Cloudflare’s 3 different DNS choices.

If it's not for you it's not for you. I always wonder about people who go to a French restaurant and want Pizza.
> I always wonder about people who go to a French restaurant and want Pizza. To be fair, this is more like trying to lookup contact information for the local pizzeria, and realizing to your surprise that the phone book you've picked up has directed you to the French restaurant instead.
Today it's a feature. Tomorrow it becomes mandatory by law. Loosing freedom with a big bang and a hole lot of happy people because they cannot compute. There is nothing good about things like that, at least on the long run.
Authoritative dns also sounds like the sort of service a government should offer it's citizens. I mean, sure, it would suck compared to commercial dns, but at least everybody could have a name if they wanted.

They offer three families of resolvers: the default one which as far as I understand isn't curated at all, the "zero" one which is curated against "bad actors", and the "kids" one which you speak of.
Yeah, I see. On first reading, that wasn't obvious to me.
But a DNS provider that can filter, and that also purports to be something to do with the EU, presumably imposes EU-mandated filtering, whichever server you choose. Or it will, as soon as it's ordered to.
I don't get why people use 3rd-party resolvers. It's not hard to set up an Unbound recursor.

This is not something from the EU as the organization, but from a French non-profit.
So in short, they're completely noncredible. I'm not sure who in the right mind would trust a random small company with their DNS.
And anyway, I trust a random French small company more than I trust Google.
While I don't think it should be the only choice. Recursive dns does sound like the sort of service a government should offer it's citizens. Authoritative dns also sounds like the sort of service a government should offer it's citizens.
