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.

I'm all in on no limits for free speech. The government's job is to provide services, not determine and police morality. And hate speech does not have a concrete definition, so it's a moving target (the government could define talking shit about Republicans as hate speech and make it illegal, for example). I don't like Nazis or racism or homophobia, but i like the idea that you are legally allowed to say nazi, racist or homophobic shit and I can hear it and choose to shun you.

I'm glad Canada is there for you with their rules if that makes sense to you. Not everybody has to agree with no limits on free speech -- plenty of places to live with mostly free-ish speech laws.
