Alternative examples are available. See Russia vs domain fronting for example. Didn’t take long for Amazon et al to fall into line when the ban hammer loomed. Russia 1 - 0 Privacy.

The child abuse angle is a straw man. Surely people don’t just browse such abhorrent content as you’d browse YouTube? They’ve got to be aware that it’s illegal, and don’t fancy getting caught, so they’ll already be bypassing their ISP’s filtering etc. DoH won’t have any impact on that aspect at all.

ISPs want to see *everyone’s* DNS requests. There’s good money in that info. Losing out on that would be an issue for ISPs.
