      Dude, just… No. Nobody is killing DNS. You can’t remove that integral part of the system without a strong replacement worldwide.

      “We’ll have to ask the IP of the website we want to visit” Ask what, exactly? DNS is the resolver of domain name to IP, so unless everyone’s going to keep a spreadsheet of the IPs they want to visit, you need DNS.

        It’s the point of the article, the DNS won’t answer you in France when the website is on the banned list therefore if you want to visit the website you’ll need to find out the IP linked to the hostname for example by asking:

        Ask what, exactly?

        the IP (As I said)

    France:

    We’re moving to Linux and kicking Windows to the curb!

    Also France:

    Only we get to decide what you see on the internet in our borders, not you!

      To be fair, the move to Linux has nothing to do with user rights. That is strictly a move to become less reliant on the US as the US has become increasingly unstable.

      With the tendency certain countries to be autocratic, France included, I worry that may be the intent indeed, through using a legitimate reason to create a precedent for illegitimate ones.
