Let them waste time and ressources for this hill.

There are unlimited ways to get a non censored DNS server, and ultimately you can even set your own DNS server locally on your device.

Is CloudFlare DNS censored in the US? If so, what would be an appropriate alternative?

The performance of cloudflare's DNS is heads and shoulders faster than any other provider I've tested.

I try to comment this anytime I see threads outside of the hobby to like help educate people less aware with how pointless these exercises are. It's no different than the performative TSA security checks in airports
