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.

Can you explain more? It sounds like you think it's acceptable for the owners of an Italian sports league to have this power over the Internet?

Explain what ? That I can read and understand ? I am saying that it's not ok for CEO of company to cancel services in whole country after receiving spam email. It's not ok to call politicians to support online aggression actions against foreign country and at the same time wash mouth with freedom. But well I know you who praise him. Good luck and keep destroying internet.

In addition, we are considering the following actions: 1) discontinuing the millions of dollars in pro bono cyber security services we are providing the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics; 2) discontinuing Cloudflare’s Free cyber security services for any Italy-based users; 3) removing all servers from Italian cities; and 4) terminating all plans to build an Italian Cloudflare office or make any investments in the country.

It seems like you are misunderstanding the situation. I'm asking you to explain why you support Italian media executives having the power to censor the Internet.
