Then leave governments out of it, and re-phrase the question in this
way. If one can not run one's own DNS server on the public Internet,
but must rely on a DNS service supplier for your DNS, and at some point
you start to wonder about the technical competence or correct configura-
tion of the DNS service supplier whose DNS you are configured to use,
and all other DNS servers out there are configured to refuse recursive
service except perhaps to their own population, than against what can
you compare the DNS service that you are getting, to see whether it is
giving you what "the world" should be seeing?
That is exactly what worries me.
In germany censoring is commonplace. You have to use foraign resolvers
to escape it. There is a lot collateral dammage too - governement has
provided the tools. Corrupt people use it to play tricks on their
"friends".
How about alternative roots? ICANN does censor "XN--55QX5D.", "XN--FIQS8S."
and "XN--IO0A7I." already. You must use alternative roots to exchange emails
with people living in those domains.
Banning open resolvers means censoring for a lot of people, at least
if they cannot run their own servers.
