Even people in Germany who want to read the other side of the war story, like I did yesterday to read RT(.com) vs the Tagesschau propaganda. Since my ISP, O2, has removed rt.com entries and other russian propaganda outlets (I acknowledge the "west" also has propaganda outlets like Reuters etc) I was looking for ways to still read rt.com news. I looked into Firefox' preferences and searched for "DNS" and saw DNS over HTTP and I could pick Cloudflare, NextDNS (never heard of) or custom. I picked Cloudflare and read rt.com thus getting the other side of the whole bs propaganda mess.

The German Grundgesetz (constitution) says "eine Zensur findet nicht statt" (censorship does not occur/there will be no censorship) yet, there is censorship.

I was sceptical about DOH in general (why do we need this?) but now I see why this can be a good thing and great as well that Firefox supports it so easily.

Referring to Reuters as a propaganda outlet seems like a bold statement; what evidence led you to make that claim?

[adalu]

I could turn the question around, what evidence do you have they aren't?

I'm not going to search for every single article. Or are you seriously suggesting that Reuters is 100% free of propaganda, especially in war times?

The answer your question: "common sense".

I don't care about either side of this argument, but you can't logically turn the question around. The burden of proof is on you, who made the claim.

[malnourish]

That is an unsatisfying and fallacious response. I did not make that claim, nor did I call them a propaganda outlet. For whom are they propagandizing?

How is this different from just using different DNS settings on your OS?

[dahfizz]

Because your ISP can block a "raw" DNS request, regardless of what server you configure. Your ISP can even inspect your DNS request, and choose to give a fake response or block the request based on the domain you are requesting.

Your ISP can also block the IP via reverse DNS if they want too.. If you don’t trust your ISP only a vpn will save you
