    Punish regular users while completely failing to actually stop piracy, classic.

      As the article mentions, Italy already did that! “Hold my prosecco”

      The best thing about cloudflare is when they leak a lot of confidential data publicly on the internet that only they see from their man in the middle position.

    Excellent proof of why these systems should not exist under these conditions. Apparently it’s poorly managed and governed

    I guess this is why Italy keeps getting cozy with China…they need China’s internet blocking expertise.

    What’s a (in context extremely) little business disruption nuisance in fece of not being ruled by megacorps & letting them do what they want?

    (I’m not agreeing with methods, just that is way better this way than the other way around)
