That is a big 'if' though. Don't CDNs work by having equipment in every country so you don't have to?

- nine_k 2y agoThey can peer with large local providers / exchanges and rent some of their local storage capacity without owning that equipment, and without having corporate presence in Italy. (You don't have to be German to rent a Hetzner server, do you?)
- immibis 2y agoThat's enough of a corporate presence. Whatever they have in Italy can be shut down. You don't get to not follow the law just because you're buying from a vendor.
- nine_k 2y agoEnough to shut down by ordering that the local providers stop providing service to Cloudflare; likely not enough to sue Cloudflare proper. Not a big difference for the customers in Italy.
