I don't live in the US myself, but from what I've heard it's actually 
among the least censored countries out there at the DNS level. Again, I 
don't consider it right to block content, at least if said content 
doesn't break local laws. If anything I'd like to actually retain my 
ability to bypass DNS blocks by simply changing my DNS server to a more 
favorable one. With DoH that would likely become much harder. Not to 
mention that HTTPS isn't the holy grail for bypassing that either. The 
Facebooks and Googles out there use HSTS to mitigate TLS stripping but 
that requires a list to be hardcoded in every web browser that supports 
it. It doesn't scale up at all. At that point we might as well go back 
to hosts files.
