By "shadowy cabal of European media elites," is Prince referring to elected Italian officials? What have they asked Cloudflare to ban?
- IncreasePosts 9mo agoThe driving force behind this is getting pirated streams of football matches knocked offline. Currently by the time any action is taken the match is over, which is why they want the response-within-30-minutes.
- sva_ 9mo agoNo. To private entities (news outlets) who, according to this law, get to decide what websites to ban without a court order or any due process
- bflesch 9mo agoThe exact same thing is implemented in Germany already (DNS-level block), and I did not see Cloudflare CEO rage posting on Twitter about it.
- hn_go_brrrrr 9mo agoHas Germany tried to fine Cloudflare over it?
- sva_ 9mo agoI'm in Germany and Cloudflare DNS doesn't Block eg Annas Archive for me, while my ISP does. I also don't reckon Germany tried to fine Cloudflare yet. So what is your point?
- bigbuppo 9mo ago"you must block things in germany after it goes through a formal government process" versus "you must block things globally even for places not subject to italian law because an italian media company doesn't like it" There's more than a subtle difference betweeen the two.
- subsistence234 9mo agoBecause the German law only harms Germans, whereas the Italian law in question demands global bans.
- epolanski 9mo agoThis is about football streaming, the cabal media elites are right holders fighting illegal streams, which 1.1.1.1 bypasses even if filters are put at the ISP level.
