Last December the Court of Milan ordered Cloudflare to block sites added to Italy's Piracy Shield system. Cloudflare sees itself as a neutral intermediary but increasingly frustrated rightsholders say it should play a more active role by assisting their fight against piracy. A decision issued by the same court now requires Google to poison its Public DNS to prevent access to pirate sites. It was handed down on March 11 without Google being heard in the matter.

The Pirate community should just abandon DNS altogether and use IP addresses...most of us are savvy enough we don't need that Pablum anyway 🏴‍☠️

Tor itself has a pretty good routing scheme that seems like it could replace DNS entirely. There are obvious (but surmountable) UX issues and there may be scalability issues - but it is 100% worth investigating.

FMHY should just distribute an updated HOSTS file, lol 🏴‍☠️

That's basically what dns is

The same is true for I2P

I was going to comment basically the same thing! Going to need more sites list IP addresses along side their mirrors on whichever sites/chats that they provide them currently.
