Speaker
Description
Legal pressure from companies and countries to censor certain content or content creators is growing drastically; and unfortunately, many have landed upon DNS resolution prevention as a tool to achieve these aims. When a country demands that access to a specific domain be blocked for its users, the common outcome is overly broad filtering that affects users far beyond that jurisdiction (along with legal drama at multiple levels). This talk explores how global Anycast deployments with in-region nodes can absorb and localize censorship mandates, preventing them from impacting users globally. Kate will examine real-world scenarios where centralized or poorly scoped filtering caused collateral damage and contrast them with targeted Anycast-based approaches that maintain availability and legal compliance. Attendees will gain insight into designing DNS and web services that balance regulatory demands with global reach and protect access for users.
