April Fools.

lmao almost got me. scary times...

Some April Fools jokes hit too close to home to make. Does easydns really want to have their brand associated with this kind of news in a world where so many people just read the title?

I know this is April 1, but you should really run your own DNS server.

"Thank you for your attention in this matter" (eyeroll). That's what tipped me off that it was a joke. Well and the absurdity of it.

Too believable for an april fools :( Palantir really was the icing

[flagged] lol.

I know this is a joke. But, with the way the world is headed, this seems "likely".

My question is, say a law was passed that effectively outlawed unauthenticated and unlogged DNS access.

Could that be implemented today with something like DoH and client certificates?

I found this draft that seems to cover some possible future implementation:

and:

This might be a fun weekend project for me... Ugh rabbit holes.

This is exactly what we need to protect the children!
