    Demanding the ISPs to block traffic to Google domains would be quite effective.

    Filter it based on what? Between ESNI and DNS over HTTPS, it shouldn’t be possible to know, which domain the traffic belongs to. Am I missing something?

    Edit: Ah, I guess DNS over HTTPS isn’t enabled by default yet.

      Just filter out googles ASN and ip’s. And stop peering with them on BGP. Simples

      Im not supporting this by the way. I think the internet should be free and open, without governments blocking what I can access.

        The onpy free internet will be tor. The normie internet has been too naughty and spawned shitty giants who think they can treat us like cattle. Break the critical mass and network effects, kill the blitzscale cheaters trying to enslave us. We do not need them, they need us.

      China blocks ESNI and DoH. You have to find a DoH server that is not well known and have to fake the host name.

      But if you actually do that, lol

      IP block it. Boom there goes eSNI and DNS.

      Sure, it’s crude, but again: it doesn’t have to perfect, it just needs to create havoc with Google services to push away a regular user, who has no idea what DNS even is.

      A better approach though is to fine Google, with a % of revenue increasing until compliance. They’ll very quickly be incentivised to comply or shutdown.

        The whole argument was about blocking search only, considering the damages suddenly completely blocking google would do. Yes, you can block google data centers completely, but dude, would that cause chaos.

        A better approach though is to fine Google,

        I said that multiple times already.

                That is like saying standing up to authoritarianism is extremely necessary, while proposing to drop nukes on Russia. There are 100 better ways to do it.

                  Yes you’re right, blocking a single corporation is totally similar to dropping a nuclear weapon on a civilian site, you’ve shown me the error of my ways.

                  Holy fucking hyperbole, Batman!

                    When looking at the relative difference between cost of your solution, it’s benefits and cost of normal solutions, yes. It is extremely similar.

                    But go ahead nitpicking my exact choice of comparison instead of addressing the glaring issue with your argument.
