Unfortunately, even if we ignore the fact that Cloudflare probably has many Italian customers, there are other ways they can interfere with Cloudflare's services, such as by blocking their IP addresses in the country. It wouldn't be the first time this has been done by European ISPs, sadly.
- AdrianB1 2y agoIs that a problem for Cloudflare or with Italy? In the end, can Italy break Internet or can Internet cut off Italy? It is a theoretical question, I wonder how much control countries can have over a non-country level concept as Internet. The jurisdiction question is very much the point, does Cloudflare or Google provide a paid DNS service to Italian clients and the contract is regulated by Italian laws or it is a universal and free DNS service that Italy cannot regulate?
- immibis 2y agoItaly already blocked Cloudflare once. The Mafia (seriously, it's thought to run a lot of these legal sports things) is a more powerful force in Italy than working internet.
