Indeed. However I'm unsure if this WG is the place for that as it probably won't reach that wider French(?) Internet community. Or those who are responsible for making regulations and laws in this area. The OP on bind-users had a Belgian email address BTW.

That said, it would be worthwhile for this WG to try to develop something that explains the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches to traffic/content blocking: eg DNS tricks, various forms of blacklisting, DPI, etc, etc. There are laws and regulations on this topic popping up all over the RIPE service region and IMO it would be good if we could produce a document for legislators, law enforcement, IPR lawyers, etc.
