Archshrk, I agree, Dictatorship vs. Mob Rule is a hard choice to make. But at this point OpenDNS is not as big of a juggernaut as Google. They don’t have any incentive to control our Internet experience. And even if they did, you could add an exception to allow/block what you desire.

This move by Google has me a little worried too. It could be totally used for good to keep other DNS Services from blocking content but what’s to stop Google from doing the same – their word?

Dictatorship vs. Mob Rule is a hard choice to make. Ultimately, you have to place your trust somewhere and hope you’re not wrong.
