Re: Yet another Quadruple DNS?

We already have 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

And 9.9.9.9 and several others public DNS resolvers.

And any reputable company or ISP should be running their own.

I fully agree.

What purpose would this serve?

In Europe, the most common technique of censorship is through lying DNS resolvers. So, in order to go to forbidden Web sites (music and film sharing, for instance), many users switched from the ISP's resolver (which implements the censorship) to a public resolver.
