Nah. Demanding the ISPs to block traffic to Google domains would be quite effective.

This isn't like the great firewall of chine where you want to prevent absolutely all traffic. If you make it inconvenient to use, because CSS breaks or a js library doesn't load or images breaslk, its already a huge step into pushing it out of the market.

Enterprise market would be much harder, a loooot of EU companies rely on Google's services, platforms and apps, and migrating away would take a lot of time and money.

Filter it based on what? Between ESNI and DNS over HTTPS, it shouldn't be possible to know, which domain the traffic belongs to. Am I missing something?

Edit: Ah, I guess DNS over HTTPS isn't enabled by default yet.

Just filter out googles ASN and ip's. And stop peering with them on BGP. Simples

Im not supporting this by the way. I think the internet should be free and open, without governments blocking what I can access.

The onpy free internet will be tor. The normie internet has been too naughty and spawned shitty giants who think they can treat us like cattle. Break the critical mass and network effects, kill the blitzscale cheaters trying to enslave us. We do not need them, they need us.
