Italy fined Cloudflare 14.2 million euros for refusing to block access to pirate sites on its 1.1.1.1 DNS service, the country’s communications regulatory agency, AGCOM, announced yesterday. Cloudflare said it will fight the penalty and threatened to remove all of its servers from Italian cities.
Nah, fuck Italy on this one. Capitalists demanding censorship to protect their profits are never right.
I am Italian and I find Piracy Shield an abomination.
That said, the consequence after the government enacts this should be to see at least all the technically informed people protesting vehemently if not violently.
Instead no, sofa is just too comfortable and pay is too high (including the one they get from public contracts), so let’s instead applaud the Elon-yapping corpo that decides this is the one rule to challenge, but not the next one that is to their advantage.
