Yep, nothing I said is against DPRIV, just wanted to make sure these use case 
were handled.

Indeed - if you *choose* to use a third-party DNS service, you should be able 
to do so securely, privately, and without restriction.

Right.

I’d rather not bring politics into the debate :) Opting out of the smut filter 
is actually straightforward today, because most ISPs don’t prevent you from 
using third-party DNS, but they might in future, because the DNS protocol can 
be transparently intercepted and interfered with/redirected. DPRIV should 
ensure that isn’t possible. It *should* also prevent bad guys from doing the 
same by hijacking your CPE or something like DNSChanger.
