DNS Resolvers Become Censorship Tools

National regulators are increasingly demanding that public DNS services (like Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1) implement near‑real‑time domain and IP blocking to enforce copyright claims. That transforms an infrastructural service—designed for universal, low‑latency name resolution—into an enforcement choke point that risks overblocking, latency, and extraterritorial effects. — This reframes debates about platform regulation: forcing infrastructure to act as content enforcer raises proportionality, due‑process and cross‑border governance issues for the internet and the EU single market.
