This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Blocking cloudflare is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Unless they start blocking IPs like the great firewall of china blocking any DNS is kinda pointless. Unless maybe if the domain’s primary name servers are cloudflare but I can’t seeing any site doing nefarious things using cloudflare. Run your own DNS resolver on a VPS somewhere besides Italy.
My worry is the internet starts getting terribly segmented and not interconnected. That would be more of an issue.
Corps are getting bigger than countries and starting to flex. Scary shit.
Jennifer Government and Snow Crash here we come. Except we don’t get any of the cool shit fictional cyber-dystopias do.
Don't praise Cloudflare or Italy; both are part of the problem.
I mention it to my friends and family every chance I get. I try to explain that the digital walls they're building aren't going to keep us safe but I'm always met with tired indifference.
...until they can't access some site or service. Then it's panic.
Yeah the worst fucking part is that theyre indifferent. They dont promote these measures, they just dont care. If they did, a discussion could be had at least.
about as safe as when in prison
Are they becoming less shitty or is this accidentally doing the right thing?
They did as sort of positive thing while praising Elon and Vance, despite both their visions of “free speech” as being “free speech for what I like and not you”
So a hearty fuck Cloudflare, fuck American tech for one again operating in a country and refusing to follow their laws, and fuck the entire billionaire apparatus who are so deep in the circle jerk they don’t know how to come up for air and not act like fascists for 10 seconds.
the Italian law is overly broad here, but that doesn’t excuse this behaviour.
