Back in October, Walled Culture wrote about the grandly-named “Piracy Shield”. This is Italy’s new Internet blocking system, which assumes people are guilty until innocent, and gives the copyright industry a disproportionate power to control what is available online, no court orders required.

That’s why dns-over-https is so important
Root servers don’t support that. Nothing would stop governments from telling all ISPs in the country to block all DNS servers that don’t comply.
Edit: Missed a word.
Yep, good to note for other people. I’m aware but here torrenting is kinda allowed. If you do it for yourself and without any profit motive you can just keep going without any kind of issue
The dns change is just to not have to use proxies to access stuff like libgen and piratebay in my case :)
