Hilarious how the article mentions the domain names at the end. It's like Google showing links of DMCA-striken lists, so you can easily find out the actual places to pirate.

Used to be like that. Now they have renamed “Chilling Effects” to “Lumen Database” and require submitting an email address to view each individual complaint.

It still shows the domains for me, which is super useful, since I just go to the domain directly and then search again there

Will read the article now thank you

This kind of comment is best left on reddit to keep the signal-to-noise ratio on HN as high as possible.

Just hit that upvote button instead. :)

Where do comments calling something Reddit-tier go?

What if I'd want to warn users that the list really only encompasses sports related domains? Genuinely want to follow the etiquette here, but I like being useful.

Yes, censorship by establishment makes public curious. Often it is best PR of those sites.

Streisand effect.

But these names aren't resolvable (through compliant resolvers), while the transparency links would be.

only in France

They aren't resolvable with the listed in the article DNS providers, which makes it easy to find the other ones such as Quad9.

9.9.9.9

Quad9 is based in Germany which isn't much better than France for this kind of thing. They have already been ordered to implement DNS-level censorship in other cases.
