on my machine, I can resolve the domain name google.com.

ping  google.com
PING google.com (216.58.220.206): 56 data bytes
^C--- google.com ping statistics ---
21 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

Why not prohibit telecom operators from parsing google.com?


is meaningless
dns is not the only one with
8.8.8.8 that can be resolved to all domain names
