Lol. Oops.

Smells like malicious compliance.

If one Googleuserservices dot com account has a picture of a pirated movie cover - ban all the Google!

More please.

No it's just stupidity

The Italian government gave the keys of the internet in the hands of three copyright trolls. They have absolute power and the ISPs need to block the URLs and IP addresses forever within 30 minutes. There's simply no time in 30 minutes for a review! Also they like to block during soccer matches and those happen during weekend, when all the sysadmins are relaxing...

Can we realize how stupid is to block an URL and its IP address forever??? (If the block is wrong, the owner can appeal within 5 days)

I hope this continues and ruins them completely. Italy always has been a bad example of what not to do, so their loss may be everyone else's gain.

  1. They can only appeal for five days?

  2. IP addresses get reassigned. Unless the block is limited to IPv6, this is asking for trouble.

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 28 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] veniasilente@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] B0rax@feddit.org 25 points 3 weeks ago

Is there a way for users to flag domains? Maybe add a few media corporation websites to the mix.

Meloni, good job.

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lmao. Hope this keeps happening and damaging the economy of Italy.

Let's hope the destroy themselves before they elect competent fascists instead of this bunch

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, but not competent ones.

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

Italy doesn't actually have competent politicians in general.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 weeks ago

Ah, so it’s not just us Americans that elect idiot fascists that ruin everything they touch.

Man, imagine being the IT guy for an all Google shop.
"Hey, why nothing works?"
"Because the government fucking blocked Google!" lmao
