The UK's Internet Service Provider Association has nominated Mozilla for its annual 'Internet Villain' award... because the latter has rolled out DNS over HTTPS.
The technology, often known as 'DoH', allows secure connections between users and DNS servers - bypassing restrictions, spying, logging, censorship and other nefarious things. This can only be seen as A Good Thing... unless you have a vested interest.
In protest, Andrews & Arnold (aka 'A&A') - a smaller UK ISP - have donated to the open source based Mozilla Foundation the equivalent of their ISPA annual membership fee, had they even been a member. The final sum being £2,940. Nice gesture/mic-drop.
As I said on Twitter, they don't even bother to hide the dystopia any more. 'Oh noes think of the childrenz!!!!1!!one!!eleven!', but sliding in things like 'blocking' and 'control tools' as an aside. True colours nailed to the mast. If you haven't already, VPN up, people.

at which point things like VPNs would be useless.
