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.

banning political speech, no matter how full of shit, would only cause problems in the long run, and so it has.

I really cannot follow the argument. In Germany, we have a law making it illegal to deny the holocaust. People will say that seven million jews never died, and the police will investigate them, they are taken to court and put into prison if necessary.

Nothing bad ever came from this. We simply get to put one specific kind of asshole into prison if they spread lies to sow hatred.

My fellow countrymen generally seem to struggle with the concept of narrow and focused laws.

Everything is always all or nothing, and it makes nuance a problem to talk about.
