As best as I can tell from this thread, if you make use of any service in any way that could be interpreted as unintended by the service provider, you're a criminal.

It makes me wonder if using 1.1.1.1 on my network is a crime. Sure my ISP is letting my DNS queries through, but think of all the analytics that they're missing about me.

That is not the case, at least in most occidental jurisdictions. See for example the recent linkedin case: https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/10/20859399/linkedin-hiq-dat...

And the CFAA is a peculiarly poor bit of legislation, even by US standards, nothing like it applies in the EU.

There is no basis to say these actions, or using a different DNS, is criminal. At worst a contract dispute.
