No politician is ever going to oppose it then. It's for the children. Their opposition would destroy them in front of the ignorant masses of America who don't know any better, calling them supporters of child abuse.

This is why the many groups working towards meshnets are so important. It won't go underground, a new internet is going to happen, decentralised and out of any government control such as this DNS bullshit.

That said, DNS blocking doesn't matter at all. Instead of typing the website URL you just need to type in the IP address. We'll just enter a string of numbers instead of a string of letters to get to where we want to be.
