So I guess pornography is illegal in Malaysia?
I guess this is a great time for Malaysian users to switch to DoH.
Edit: Yes. Wikipedia:
> Pornography is illegal in Malaysia with fines of up to RM10,000 for owning or sharing pornographic materials

There are non standard transports for DNS via non standard providers | DNS proxies - this tool and that foundation are a start.
It’s sad that democracies are copying the playbook of China. Will definitely be using v2ray/X-ray while here
"Democracy" is a bit of a red herring here. Democracy doesn't mean the government can't censor you or restrict what information or media you can consume. Democracy just means that the voters have consented to whatever legal framework is in place, and to whatever their leaders want to do within that framework.
And that's the thing: in many democracies around the world, if there was a referendum on the law to blocking copyright infringement, online gambling, or pornography at the ISP level, I think many would pass that law.
(Certainly there are "democracies" out there that only pay lip service to the concept, and have fixed elections and repression of dissent or opposition. I'm not talking about those.)
So, DoH should be work fine for now, but they'll (gov.) terminate HTTPS (or TLS) connection ASAP.
It's legal, but it's not a porn.
Same as why a lot of Japanese people seem to have pixelated genitals. ;)
Why? I've never heard of a non-Islamist nation banning content as benign as porn.
It's really not that rare even for non-Muslim countries, especially in Asia
When they've started to terminate TLS, the reason was to terminate illegally shared webtoon (web cartoon) sites.

The real issue is always control.
