Sadly no-one responsible from this situation will care.

French authorities and network operator will in fact prefer that you don't have alternative than using the dns servers that they are providing.

So it sucks that Quad9 is closing their resolver to french IPs. If they stand by their values, they should continue to accept the requests, just leave all office and business ties with France.

Similar to ofcom things against 4chan.

How can they even sue you if you aren’t based in France? Just do what 4chan did and tell them to fuck off.

Lmao. The world is run by morons who are voted for by even more morons. That's why you get stuff like "durrrrrrr we used vpn and could still access it, contempt of court!"

Just absolutely braindead behaviour from so many members of our species.

That's sad. France sold out to Qatar.

Shame on you, Macron. What a loser guy. Big words but these are just lies. We really need to no longer put our future into the hands of any politician here. Direct democracy is the only way forward past this point. Courts that work for foreign countries need to be removed. Courts must work, first and foremost, for the local people living in a country.

Donated

Love to see some Lavabit action in response to government overreach. (Not that it's fun to see a provider have to shut down operations in an area, but more that I prefer to see them sticking to their principles rather than showing the government that this behavior is tolerated.)

Blah blah blah. Social social social.

how do they not see the self-inconsistency?

they "cannot" blacklist the domains on geoIP basis, yet the "can" withdraw from France? via what method? Removing the French servers is clearly insufficient, so why can they deny France entirely via geoIP, but not block the domains just via geoIP?

they do claim a value-based reason (good on them for it), but they are very very insistent about the "impossibility" anyway. can't have it both ways.

c'est une catastrophe décidément la fascisation de ce pays

So this is yet another reason why I run unbound locally.

There's really no reason not to.
