Italy's "Piracy Shield" causes massive Google Drive outage for millions
On Saturday evening Google Drive went dark for millions of Italian users after the service's domain name was added to Piracy Shield.
Punish regular users while completely failing to actually stop piracy, classic.
Page right out of the TSA's handbook!
Do CloudFlare next.
As the article mentions, Italy already did that! "Hold my prosecco"
The best thing about cloudflare is when they leak a lot of confidential data publicly on the internet that only they see from their man in the middle position.
hey, I've seen this one
They did!
Excellent proof of why these systems should not exist under these conditions. Apparently it's poorly managed and governed
I guess this is why Italy keeps getting cozy with China...they need China's internet blocking expertise.
What's a (in context extremely) little business
disruptionnuisance in fece of not being ruled by megacorps & letting them do what they want?(I'm not agreeing with methods, just saying that it is way better this way than the other way around)
Edit: oh, wait, this was about piracy, so it almost is 'the other way around' :(
