In case there was any doubt:

1. DNS4EU is filtered and surveilled
2. That was the plan all along
3. In a distributed system like DNS, there is no means to enforce censorship without enforcing centralisation either of the service, or of “filters” or “controls” to be applied apply to the service
4. Some in the EU understand this, so when DNS4EU fails to deliver there will be some kind of backlash; so we wait.

This was not exactly the pitch, but then like all “we must have a national instance of <distributed thing> because sovereignty”-projects, the goal is innately self-defeating because what if your citizen doesn’t want your offering?

Supported by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), the European Union’s DNS4EU secure-infrastructure project provides a protective, privacy-compliant, and resilient DNS service to strengthen digital sovereignty and security for EU citizens, governments, and critical infrastructure.
