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.

They’re arguing that applying filters would degrade performance for everyone. So.. to me that kinda sounds like accidentally doing the right thing.

    Seems fairly plausible that they cant change 1.1.1.1 behaviour per country.

    At least, not readonably. Dns is the one place where people spend a lot of effort saving microseconds (and less) on each look up.
