US government is not much better... or have you forgotten all those hundreds of FBI/ICE domain seizures. How many have Russians taken down?
If your'e gonna use DNS servers and you don't want someone to track you, use the DNS server based somewhere where your government cannot access them. If you're in the US, it's easy to assume that US DoJ/FBI will not be able to subpoena Yandex or some Chinese internet provider.
The reputation of the government - shutting down access to websites that hurt them is kind-a no-go for me.
