Ahh but my reply was to @syncretic’s post about keeping a list and it is about something that can be done (and yes it does require that you maintain the list and some sites are not able to be visited because of how the addressing is handled).
As to the fuss it is easy to explain a little why the Australian or any other Govt want access to your DNS requests. They want it to control what you see and do online, they also want to take action when something they don’t like rears it’s head ie they want absolute control and power. This is why the Australian Govt put in place legislation to require RSPs to break encryption when a user seeks to use that. This is also why the Australian Govt require the retention of all your metadata by your RSP. They tell us it is for our security and in some instances it may help them catch a “bad” person, but in the end who becomes a “bad” person is really about how the Govt defines “bad”.
