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.

    It is real. There is a lot of hypocrisy, particularly among the right. But the difference between Europe and the US is stark.

    Compare the criticism of the DMCA or Google's Content ID to this affair. It's on completely different levels.
