A distributed DNS platform wont stop censorship. Governments will just find a different method of censorship.

Null routing IPs would cause collateral damage, but to block illegal content that the hosts refuse to take down? They might go ahead and do it anyway...

I would still love to see a distributed DNS platform. The issue that needs resolving for a distributed platform is trust. We will always need a trusted authority. That could be split over 50 hosts over 50 countries, but we still need one.



Verizon and AT&T will do what they are told as will other large ISPs, if they want to keep doing business as usual.
