> They offer three families of resolvers

Yeah, I see. On first reading, that wasn't obvious to me.

But a DNS provider that can filter, and that also purports to be something to do with the EU, presumably imposes EU-mandated filtering, whichever server you choose. Or it will, as soon as it's ordered to.

I don't get why people use 3rd-party resolvers. It's not hard to set up an Unbound recursor.

Think about how many people want to at least keep their children safe online and do not have an easy means to do so.

This helps make simple solutions accessible to a wider audience.

Sure you may not care if your children are watching porn at age 6 .. some may prefer to parent differently.

Giving people an option is not a bad thing, and it does not purport to be anything to do with the EU itself, just built for the EU market.

If you're the type of person to think Federal Express is part of the US government, that's partially on you.

IMHO the only solution for real safety for children on internet are the parents that navigate with the child and education, any other solution is only a patch that give false security. And, above all, you're giving to other people the right to choose what is good or bad for your children. Not my way.

Golly - there's a few strawmen there.

* My children are in their thirties, and don't live with me. I live on my own now, but I was a good parent.

* I didn't suggest that using this service should be banned; I just asked why people don't run their own recursive DNS.

* And I have no idea where you got the notion that I confuse Fedex with the US government.

"presumably imposes EU-mandated filtering"

Source?

It's in France. It operates under French and EU jurisdiction.

[Edit] So EU mandates will be enforced. Is that fact what you want a source for?

It is within .eu domain. Nothing to do with the European Union.

.eu domains are only available to any person or entity that reside within the European Union. As such, any European Union legislation will apply.
