the rules are crafted. Comments to the board can reference the Protect the Stack coalition statement (<a href="https://protectthestack.org/" target="_blank">https://protectthestack.org/</a>) which lays out the reasons why content policing should not be done at the infrastructure
level, including DNS.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
