I read that in the article. Does Italy have any legal jurisdiction over PornHub? They're probably a Cayman company or something like that, right? I suppose the content could be blocked in Italy but that's about it.

Italy has recently empowered a regulator to block sites domestically for IP violations. Additionally, Italy could make things difficult for any executive that visits the country and restrict any transactions with Italian advertisers.
