Government control over DNS is more than a regulatory shift; it’s a direct threat to the freedom, privacy, and security of every Internet user. When authorities dictate how DNS operates, the consequences extend far beyond blocked websites. Censorship silences dissent, surveillance strips away privacy, security gaps put users at risk, and legal overreach tightens control over what should be an open and unrestricted space. Neutral, independent DNS providers serve as a safeguard against these dangers. By maintaining a system free from political influence and resistant to government-imposed restrictions, neutral DNS providers ensure users can access the web without interference.

At Quad9, we aim to show appreciation for the dedication of our staff and their contributions to the growth and health of the organization by showcasing quarterly staff highlights. This quarter, we are featuring our Director of Threat Intelligence, Emilia Cebrat-Maslowski.
