    Quad9 Considers Leaving France over Website Blocking Order

    Quad9, a Swiss privacy-focused DNS resolver, is considering leaving France after a court ordered it to block 58 domains used for pirating sports content or face €580,000 in fines. The organization argues it cannot identify French users without collecting data, and blocking globally would improperly extend French jurisdiction worldwide. The case highlights how anti-piracy enforcement creates collateral damage for privacy and internet security operators.
