I love the EU (honestly!), but I also love the Internet. Through the NIS 2 Directive, the EU is attempting to regulate each and every root server operator (RSO), even those outside of the EU. Doing so will have bad consequences. 1/6

There are 12 RSOs. There are over 1300 active root servers. None of these RSOs are 'providers of essential services' individually. Up to 11 of them could fail, and nobody would notice. In 40 years, "the root" has never gone down. 2/6
By attempting to regulate the core of the Internet, the EU risks opening up a Pandora's box: many other governments would like to follow suit. The EU itself has advocated for the current multi-stakeholder "governance" model, in lieu of government action. 3/6
