It makes me wonder if using 1.1.1.1 on my network is a crime. Sure my ISP is letting my DNS queries through, but think of all the analytics that they're missing about me.
- angry_octet 7y agoThat is not the case, at least in most occidental jurisdictions. See for example the recent linkedin case: https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/10/20859399/linkedin-hiq-data-scraping-cfaa-lawsuit-ninth-circuit-ruling https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/10/20859399/linkedin-hiq-dat... And the CFAA is a peculiarly poor bit of legislation, even by US standards, nothing like it applies in the EU. There is no basis to say these actions, or using a different DNS, is criminal. At worst a contract dispute.
