How exactly will they force compliance for companies not based in Italy, or even the EU?
By banning and blocking all VPN providers not based in Italy.
So by going harder on blocking content that China? Because that’s what they do but most of the big providers get through after a day or two of downtime each time the government make a change to block them.
Sounds like a possible violation of EU rights. Similar practices have cost other governments dearly in the past.
Supreme fascist control doesn’t start immediately. It needs to take one small baby step every day.
Better yet, how will they determine what is “pirated content”?
“The Internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it.”
They will, at best, mildly inconvenienced the pirates.
“Italian organized crime groups receipts have been estimated to reach 7–9% of Italy’s GDP.”
But I guess pirating books is a more pressing problem.
Not if you’re MetaFace it isn’t.
So will the Italian government provide an Official List of Pirated Content or do the VPN providers need to determine it manually?
This is actually about having the power of one person in an office wiping out any internet domain from the country.
