Addressing some misconceptions about our plans for improving the security of DNS
The claim that ISPs are concerned about Google DNS being anti-competitive or too powerful really rubs me the wrong way.<p>Google has offered DNS services for years, and ISPs didn&#x27;t care. The &#x27;problem&#x27; isn&#x27;t that Google is offering its own DNS -- it&#x27;s that now those queries are encrypted and ISPs can&#x27;t read them.<p>The pushback on this has been really eye opening for me. I knew that obviously ISPs were reading DNS queries, but I think the amount of effort ISPs are putting into stopping what is a fairly basic security measure means that I under-appreciated just how much they care about that data. Apparently unencrypted DNS is a bigger threat than I realized.<p>If ISPs aren&#x27;t monetizing this stuff now, they&#x27;re probably planning to.
