瑞士非营利基金会Quad9宣布将于2024年11月24日停止为法国用户提供DNS解析服务1。这一决定源于法国法院的一项裁定,该裁定要求Quad9为法国用户阻止特定域名以保护卡塔尔体育媒体公司beIN的版权1。法院规定违反该命令的罚款为每日1000欧元1。
Quad9拒绝执行这一裁定,理由是该措施在技术上不可行且与公司使命相悖1。作为一家免费DNS解析服务提供商,Quad9指出其服务不涉及用户注册,因此无法准确按地域识别用户身份,从而无法有效执行针对法国用户的域名阻止措施1。Quad9表示"我们不能长期遵守这一裁决,同时保持对我们使命的忠诚——保护您的隐私、保卫您免受网络威胁、维护互联网完整性"1。
此前Quad9曾在2021至2023年间的德国类似案件中尝试使用地理IP阻止技术,但随后被指控违反法院命令并被罚款1。法院原本对Quad9罚款580,000欧元,后被减至每日1000欧元1。目前Quad9在法国还面临约20起待审法律诉讼1。
Quad9, a Swiss nonprofit foundation operating a free DNS resolution service, has announced it will cease operations in France beginning November 24, 2024, after a French court mandated the company block specific domains for users in the country.1 The court ruling requires Quad9 to prevent access to certain sites to protect the copyright interests of beIN, a Qatari sports media company, with non-compliance subject to daily fines of €1,000.1
The organization contests the feasibility of the order, arguing that its service does not require user registration and therefore cannot accurately identify users by geographic location to enforce domain blocking on a country-specific basis.1 Quad9 stated that complying with the ruling would fundamentally conflict with its core mission, declaring: "We cannot comply with this ruling long-term while remaining true to our mission—protecting your privacy, defending you against cyber threats, and safeguarding internet integrity."1 The company previously attempted geographic IP-based blocking in a similar German legal dispute spanning 2021 to 2023, which ultimately resulted in accusations of non-compliance and additional fines.1
The withdrawal from France occurs amid approximately 20 ongoing legal proceedings against Quad9 in the country.1 The initial financial penalty imposed by the French court was €580,000 before being reduced to the daily fine structure.1
