Summary
Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 public DNS resolver has been ruled by Germany's Higher Regional Court not to be an appropriate tool for addressing online infringement or moderating content more generally. The court held that DNS services are protected under the EU's Digital Services Act, which recognizes different obligations for various Internet service types and lists DNS resolvers as non-hosting services.
