Oh, look, more state sponsored control propaganda disguised as protection.

Scams are run by state sponsored actors and intelligence agencies and their targets are often regular people who have nothing to do with any of this.

You can say whatever you want, DNS is the only thing preventing control by all governments. If that locks down, you find see more people pushing for alt root servers and other ways to get out of there. What might actually help is tracking finances of government agencies and the few people who are often funding all these illicit activities.

Ill-devised Internet control movements will make everything incredibly difficult to reconcile back to. Parts of the world are already creating and using their own systems for this, and further DNS control will lead to even wider adoption of Alternative DNS Roots such as OpenNIC or Handshake even. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_DNS_root )

Eventually, given that and a list of alternative certificate authorities, we will end up with a permanently forked internet where the only saving grace might be the protocols themselves and nothing more. Some companies are already creating a way to send a list of trusted CAs via their DHCP infrastructure already (See https://info.support.huawei.com/info-finder/encyclopedia/en/... ) so I can totally see loss of control happening in the upcoming years.

You heard it here first.
