How do we get from DNS to Human rights? Why would they get involved?

[orwin]

Because to force people to use a specific Dns, you will have to invade their privacy, and privacy is a human right.

You could just block DNS outbound from the continent entirely. How does that violate privacy?

[orwin]

Can you really? I use DoH, could it be stopped? I don't understand networks enough to be sure about anything dns-related tbh,if you tell me you could block DoH outbound, I believe.

But freedom is only a part of human rights, there is also 'equality' in front of the law, and if you admit one exception for non-defense related reasons, you'll get censored by the echr too.

If you had the force of law behind you? Absolutely.
