"For the children!" "Stop resisting!" "I was in fear for my life!" The age-old cries of the oppressor. The problem is that children are being kidnapped, trafficked, and abused. DNS blocking doesn't solve that. It's not a technical problem. Go to the source--the kidnappers, traffickers, and abusers and give them 50 years in the electric chair. Go to the consumers and do the same. That will solve the problem. -A On Tue, Oct 1, 2019 at 11:33 AM John Levine <johnl@iecc.com> wrote:

Note that the UK is probably the country in Europe with the biggest use of lying DNS resolvers for censorship. No wonder that the people who censor don't like anti-censorship techniques.
Most UK ISPs use the Internet Watch Foundation's advice intended to block child sexual abuse material.
Circumventing it enables people to access that material.
We can shout CHILD PORNOGRAPHY just as loud as you can shout CENSORSHIP so perhaps we should both stop now. There are plenty of valid reasons for a DNS resolver to block some results.
