Italy Fines Cloudflare 14 Million Euros For Refusing To Filter Pirate Sites On Public 1.1.1.1 DNS<\/a> (torrentfreak.com)<\/a> 29<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TorrentFreak: Italy’s communications regulator AGCOM imposed a record-breaking 14.2 million-euro fine on Cloudflare<\/a> after the company failed to implement the required piracy blocking measures<\/a>. Cloudflare argued that filtering its global 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver would be “impossible” without hurting overall performance. AGCOM disagreed, noting that Cloudflare is not necessarily a neutral intermediary either.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Matthew Prince<\/a>: <\/a><\/a><\/a> @eastdakota<\/a> Yesterday a quasi-judicial body in Italy fined @Cloudflare<\/a> $17 million for failing to go along with their scheme to censor the Internet. The scheme, which even the EU has called concerning, required us within a mere 30 minutes of notification to fully censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal of European media elites deemed against their interests. No judicial oversight. No due process. No appeal. No transparency. It required us to not just remove customers, but also censor our 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver meaning it risked blacking out any site on the Internet. And it required us not just to censor the content in Italy but globally. In other words, Italy insists a shadowy, European media cabal should be able to dictate what is and is not allowed online. That, of course, is DISGUSTING and even before yesterday\u2019s fine we had multiple legal challenges pending against the underlying scheme. We, of course, will now fight the unjust fine. Not just because it\u2019s wrong for us but because it is wrong for democratic values. In addition, we are considering the following actions: 1) discontinuing the millions of dollars in pro bono cyber security services we are providing the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics; 2) discontinuing Cloudflare\u2019s Free cyber security services for any Italy-based users; 3) removing all servers from Italian cities; and 4) terminating all plans to build an Italian Cloudflare office or make any investments in the country<\/mark><\/strong>. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration, I appreciate @JDVance<\/a> taking a leadership role in recognizing this type of regulation is a fundamental unfair trade issue that also threatens democratic values. And in this case @ElonMusk<\/a> is right: #FreeSpeech<\/a> is critical and under attack from an out-of-touch cabal of very disturbed European policy makers. I will be in DC first thing next week to discuss this with U.S. administration officials and I\u2019ll be meeting with the IOC in Lausanne shortly after to outline\u00a0the risk to the Olympic Games if<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@Cloudflare<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

withdraws our cyber security protection. In the meantime, we remain happy to discuss this with Italian government officials who, so far, have been unwilling to engage beyond issuing fines. We believe Italy, like all countries, has a right to regulate the content on networks inside its borders. But they must do so following the Rule of Law and principles of Due Process. And Italy certainly has no right to regulate what is and is not allowed on the Internet in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Brazil, India or anywhere outside its borders. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
