They don't call them the mafiaa [1] for nothin.

I mean.. technically is not "blocking your ability to call", but just unlisting them from their phonebook and phone-number-information-service.

But in the end, this means that people will start using the alternatives more.... hopefully.

No, actually, that was where things stood BEFORE this injunction. The phone company is an intermediary party, with a relationship to at least one of the parties to an alleged infringement. The whole point of this injunction is that it applies to us as a party with NO relationship to the alleged infringing parties. It relies upon a German law that says that uninvolved bystanders are also liable.

And yet is what they do in my country to “close” piracy sites: ask the national internet providers to block the resolution on that domains. Of course in most situations you can just change the DNS to 1.1.1.1, or if the provider redirects all DNS request to their server just use DNS over HTTPS…

Or maybe 9.9.9.9 (quad9)! :)

use 9.9.9.11 for ECS support

Until Sony sues Cloudflare/Google etc

I'd love to see that for the entertainment value alone!
