They will just buy a VPN from a company that isn’t incorporated in Italy (airvpn is based in Italy so they were forced to do that)
And everyone in Italy need to be forced to get a VPN as we (I’m Italian) gave the keys to a few copyright trolls with no supervision or repercussions for wrong blockings.
Saturday afternoon my uptime Kuma telegram bot started to send me hundreds of notifications “your websites are down!” And I panicked. I literally had no idea what was going on. My server was ok, why I couldn’t access my websites? Rebooted 5 times, still down. Cloudflare tunnels were giving a weird error. After two hours of troubleshooting and still hundreds of down notifications I just gave up. “Maybe it’s an issue with cloudflare” - I thought. I disabled the telegram bot and I went to sleep.
It was the fucking copyright trolls that blocked fucking cloudflare
And no official media talked about this. When Facebook has 3 minutes of downtime, the news on TV act like Italy was cut out from the world for a week. Here the copyright trolls blocked the biggest CDN in the world for a fucking day and the media fucking ignored the issue. Not a single news about that. The block was silently removed, and it never officially happened.
I hope that this disaster triggers the EU to forbid a platform like this because this is too dangerous. What if next time instead of blocking cloudflare accidentally it’s blocked “accidentally”?
