It's good to see an argument against these laws from a purely
technical perspective beyond reemphasizing how easy these protections
are to circumvent. The implementation of these blacklists could
inadvertently provide a vector to alter DNS behavior, especially if
they are required to obtain and update these blacklists from a trusted
source automatically. Considering the recent embarrassment surrounding
DigiNotar, implicit trust does have disadvantages.
