    So, if Quad9 has admitted that geo blocking is insufficient when it comes to complying with bans, and that they were hit with a fine for doing that previously; how are they actually supposed to not provide services to french users anymore?

      I guess because they are not selective regarding the domain being queried, but only by the client IP address. It cannot be said anymore that it is only blocking access to specific sites.
