How can it possibly be, that an ISP, which I’m paying for gets to decid, which sites I’m allowed to have access to, and which not?
All the torrenting sites are restricted. I know, I can use VPN, and such… but I want to do it because of my privacy concerns and not because of some higher-up decided to bend over for the lobbying industry.
While on the other hand, if there’s a data breach of a legit big-corp website (looking at you FB), I’m still able to access it, they get fined with a fraction of their revenue, and I’m still left empty-handed. What a hipocracy!!
What comes next? Are they gonna restrict me from using lemmy too, bc some lobbyist doesn’t like the fact that it’s a decentralized system which they have no control over?
Rant, over!
I didn’t even know that my router was using my ISPs DNS, and that I can just ditch it, even though I’m running AdGuard (selfhosted)
You sure? My first thought was “that must be America”. You generally have terrible privacy and consumer protection laws and it’s the country with the most interest in enforcing copy right laws.

For some reason my isp thinks I’m in Utah even though I’m in Florida so they are not letting me see pornhub
American here. My ISP blackholes certain sites at the DNS level. Easy enough to work around, but it’s there.
