Social Media via #DNS blockieren?
Ich habe gemerkt, dass es keine dedizierten Blocklisten pro Service/Anbieter gibt. Jedenfalls hab ich keine gefunden.
Das ist hinderlich, wenn man bspw. #Facebook und #Instagram, aber nicht #WhatsApp blockieren möchte.
Also habe ich selbst Listen zusammengestellt und werde diese regelmäßig aktualisieren.

How One Person's List Blocks Ads for Millions (Peter Lowe Interview)
Cloudflare says it does not censor the internet, but the numbers tell a more complicated story

Academic research finds economic, technical and operational harms from Italy’s Piracy Shield
Walled Culture first wrote about Piracy Shield, Italy’s automated system for tackling alleged copyright infringement in the streaming sector, two years ago. Since then, we have written about the serious problems that soon emerged. But instead of fixing those issues, the government body that runs the scheme, Italy’s AGCOM (the Italian Authority for Communications Guarantees), has extended […]

Exploring #DNS4EU a little further and throwing myself back to research I was involved in a while back (https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.05638), surprisingly shows that the #European #resolver shows no problems resolving the sanctioned entities of #RussiaToday and #Sputniknews.
An oversight? I would be less surprised if the unfiltered #resolvers resolve the domain names, but even the protective ones resolve to the correct domain names, revealing that #DNSblocking is not applied on #EU cyber-resiliency flagship project.

As a response to the Russian aggression against Ukraine, the European Union (EU), through the notion of "digital sovereignty", imposed sanctions on organizations and individuals affiliated with the Russian Federation that prohibit broadcasting content, including online distribution. In this paper, we interrogate the implementation of these sanctions and interpret them as a means to translate the union of states' governmental edicts into effective technical countermeasures. Through longitudinal traffic analysis, we construct an understanding of how ISPs in different EU countries attempted to enforce these sanctions, and compare these implementations to similar measures in other western countries. We find a wide variation of blocking coverage, both internationally and within individual member states. We draw the conclusion that digital sovereignty through sanctions in the EU has a concrete but distinctly limited impact on information flows.
I keep seeing governments treat DNS resolvers like censorship tools. Obviously, they’re not meant to be.
Blocking at the DNS level is imprecise and doesn’t remove bad actors. It’s like trying to fix a leaky faucet with a sledgehammer.
Now they're going even further, pressuring CDNs like cloudflare to block access to piracy or malicious content. But here's the catch: CDNs serve thousands of sites from shared infrastructure. One misfire, and you can literally break half the web.
Just looking at what happened in Spain with La Liga is a perfect example of how not to fight piracy. To block access to illegal streams of soccer matches, La Liga pushed for CDN-level blocking.
Instead of just stopping shady streams, the blocks affected entire domains. Legit websites went offline. Entire CDNs were caught in the crossfire, news outlets, small businesses, hobby sites. All because they happened to sit on the same servers/ips as of flagged URLs.
For instance, none of them are discussing reducing ticket fees, so normal people can take their family to a stadium, or even streaming subscription costs. It's a shame.
