Cloudflare Escapes French Penalties Over 1.1.1.1 DNS Blocking

Original: Cloudflare Keeps 1.1.1.1 Out of Piracy Blocking, Escapes Penalties in France

A French court has ruled that Cloudflare cannot be forced to block piracy sites through its 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver, sparing the company from financial penalties. Rights holders had sought to extend France's site-blocking regime to major DNS providers, but Cloudflare successfully argued it falls outside the scope of the measures, keeping its resolver free of piracy blocking obligations.

Why now: The ruling sets a precedent for how far anti-piracy blocking orders can reach against major DNS infrastructure providers.
