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.

DNS is not Twitter. Blocking DNS is the equivalent of blocking off the street to the pub. Getting banned from XYZ service is the equivalent of starting shit at the pub and getting thrown out.
