Quad9 has za.com namespace blocked?

[Fluttershy]

Hi,

Does anyone else have an issue accessing za.com sites on wifi using 9.9.9.9 for DNS?

When I check it looks like they have blocked ALL za.com hostnames.

My question then is, isn't it a bit unfair that they will block a whole TLD on a whim? And they (a 'foundation') source their block list from "ThreatSTOP" which looks like a commercial entity?

za.com isn't really a TLD.

Its also weird AF (in my opinion) to host a site on someone elses domain like za.com... I'd much rather use co.za (which is a legit TLD)
