Italy fined Cloudflare 14.2 million euros for refusing to block access to pirate sites on its 1.1.1.1 DNS service, the country’s communications regulatory agency, AGCOM, announced yesterday. Cloudflare said it will fight the penalty and threatened to remove all of its servers from Italian cities.

Yeah I don’t get that. How did free speech help when the Nazis humiliated jews publicly in the 1930s? How does it help now that the US president says that Somalis are trash people? Nick Fuentes saying the “organized Jewry in America” being a problem?

It seems obvious that I want the state to prevent hate speech, especially against minorities.

How did it help taking "jew-baiters" like Julius Streicher to court during the Weimar Republic? Obviously it didn't.

You want the state to act against hate speech coming from the elected head of state. What about that seems like a good plan?

You can't convince people that Trump is a bad guy, and so you want the state to go after the bad guys. Maybe you can convince people that the state should smash bad guys. It's not hard. But Trump is in charge of the state and not you. He'll decide who's a bad guy.
