I'm pretty sure Cloudflare is an ISP according to German law ("Diensteanbieter" according to DDG). You might confuse "ISP" with the terminology of "Access Provider" according to the (now defunct) §8 TMG.
- cubefox 10mo agoIf that were true, sci-hub.se would be blocked in Germany on 1.1.1.1 (1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com), it isn't blocked, therefore it's not true. (Modus tollens)
- nkmnz 10mo agoYour reasoning is impeccable, bravo. But it's wrong. Both your premise and your conclusion are based on completely wrong assumptions.
- cubefox 10mo agoNot sure which premise you disagree with, but the conclusion follows from them.
- nkmnz 10mo agoI am a Service Provider ("Diensteanbieter") according to DDG and I don't block a single page, which makes your statement not only wrong, but rather so wrong that not even the complete opposite would make any sense.
- cubefox 10mo agoNot necessarily. Perhaps small service providers are exempt from blocking sci-hub.se. But Cloudflare is certainly not small.
- nkmnz 10mo agoHave you ever considered reading the law before attempting to discuss it?
- cubefox 10mo agoYou are clearly unable to cite a portion of the law which proves that Cloudflare counts as a service provider.
- nkmnz 9mo ago§ 1 Absatz 4 Nummer 5 Digitale-Dienste Gesetz: Im Sinne dieses Gesetzes ist oder sind „Diensteanbieter“ Anbieter digitaler Dienste;
- cubefox 9mo agoThat's just stating a tautology.
- nkmnz 9mo agoNo, it's not. It's a very precise way to state that the law has to be applied to a very wide range of service providers. This is a fundamental change compared to the previous regulation TKG. Now take the loss and next time, read the damn manual first.
