Capitalism: Extreme Dangers of Encrypted DNS-over-HTTPS
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Mozilla began working on the DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) protocol, and since June 2018 we’ve been running experiments in Firefox to ensure the performance and user experience are great. We’ve also been surprised and excited by the more than 70,000 users who have already chosen on their own to explicitly enable DoH in Firefox Release edition.

    We plan to gradually roll out DoH in the USA starting in late September. Our plan is to start slowly enabling DoH for a small percentage of users while monitoring for any issues before enabling for a larger audience. If this goes well, we will let you know when we’re ready for 100% deploymen

    Google Chrome will do the same.

    Note that happens here. On step one they established control over HTTPs and certificates. After this forcefully pushed sites under HTTPs that they control.

    Now, on step two, they also push DNS requests to be wrapped in their own interface. Such way few corporations will be able to fully annul your domain now, while you will still keep all registration and rights for it. Just any DNS request won't be served by leading browsers.

    Most importantly is the comedy corporations are playing telling you how to avoid censorship. Actually all they are doing now is to construct unprecedented censorship system.

    The Wall Street Journal has learned that the House Judiciary Committee is investigating Google's plans to implement DNS over TLS in Chrome, while the Justice Department has "recently received complaints" about the practice. While Google says it's pushing for adoption of the technology to prevent spying and spoofing, House investigators are worried this would give the internet giant an unfair advantage by denying access to users' data. The House sent a letter on September 13th asking if Google would use data handled through the process for commercial purposes.

    Guys get track of all domain requests. And will be able to BLOCK any of domains without any laws, just according to their wish. Check Youtube "rules" as example and massing purges they make.

    And now it turns into everyday reality

    Mozilla has started to make DNS over HTTPS the default for Firefox users in the US. Notwithstanding any additional hiccups, the company says it hopes to finish the rollout sometime over the next couple of weeks. The protocol is supposed to protect one of the most fundamental aspects of browsing the internet: translating URLs into IP addresses.

    Huge new changes are coming, I expect they want it to work before 2020 US elections, So both Chrome and Firefox could purge all domains they don't like.

    if it gets that bad, someone will make an addon or 3rd party IP address translation. "Only certain parts of the DNS lookup process are encrypted, and internet service providers will still be able to see which IP addresses their users are connecting to, they warn." you can't block ip's unless you firewall them and net neutrality got fixed a while ago, so any hanky panky gets a sueing, lol. it's the search engines/social media that filter most information anyway. That's where the real problem is.
