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.

I have 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in my resolver configuration. I've heard that 9.9.9.9 might not be poisoned like this. Besides running my own DNS (not even on a dare), is there a good way to get uncensored DNS resutls?

I am not sure if they are also being hit with orders. But Mullvad has some DNS options on their site. Doesn't require having their VPN either. I personally use either the Ad-block or Base ones. Even helps prevent in-app ads from loading in some games. Here is the relevant part of their site with the list of their options:

Dnscrypt-proxy lets you select dns servers based on whether they filter traffic, keep logs, use DNSSEC, etc. You can also block specific providers, such as Google or Cloudflare.
