    This talk replaces a presentation by Liis Vihul about Cyber War. Liis' flight was cancelled and she won't make it to our conference. Switch.ch has been rooting for DNSSec for several years and since 2018 we actually see a growing adoption. But there is trouble ahead: the new Swiss law on network blocking forces ISPs do block DNS access to a list of URLs of foreign online casinos with mixed success. And Firefox and Chrome started to roll out DNS over HTTP on a scale (also thanks to Cloudflare). So what does this all mean? Who controls the internet and how does privacy play into this.
