Last December the Court of Milan ordered Cloudflare to block sites added to Italy's Piracy Shield system. Cloudflare sees itself as a neutral intermediary but increasingly frustrated rightsholders say it should play a more active role by assisting their fight against piracy. A decision issued by the same court now requires Google to poison its Public DNS to prevent access to pirate sites. It was handed down on March 11 without Google being heard in the matter.

He who cares about privacy even a little bit and uses Google DNS servers doesn't really care about privacy.

Quad9. Swiss based, dnssec available, has beaten blocking orders by Sony before.

They're about as open as resolvers get, and they pretty much released everything they could when courts tried to interfere with them.

This article is basically referencing the same event as OPs article, but after Canal+ expanded the scope of their legal challenge.
