On Saturday evening Google Drive went dark for millions of Italian users after the service's domain name was added to Piracy Shield.

that’s why is IMMENSELY stupid. They have permanently blocked 6000 IPv4 addresses, used also by legit hosters like OVH, scaleway, akamai, linode, hetzner, digitalocean, cogent, AWS and cloudflare that are definitely legit and used for other purposes

5 days for appeal is also ultrastupid because there’s no notification to the owner

and the pirate just spins a new $5 VM with a new IP address and nothing changes…

Well it’s not stupid if you block all the up addresses no more piracy. See big brain thinking.

This puts a whole new spin on “running out of IPv4”.
