Only in Germany if this stands. Sure, other countries may try to follow suit, then start targeting other third parties who won’t do it “voluntarily.” And then they’ll go after Quad9 for any other site that breaks German law.

My concern is that they will apply more and more pressure on operators of public resolvers until we have no impartial DNS any longer. Particularly Europe likes that sort of “filtering” but that was so far limited to ISPs on national levels. Now they seem to want to take this a step further and make international operators block it.

Unfortunately, the court not only ruled in favour of the plaintiff, but they were ordered to implement the censorship worldwide.

The court’s decision ignored the VPN concept and implies that Quad9 must block these domains regardless of how users reach them or from what nation

I’m no law student, but I’ve never heard of such a thing…unless Quad9 is a German company.

The company is incorporated in Switzerland, I guess that’s close enough.
