Italy fines Cloudflare 14M euros for not blocking pirate sites on 1.1.1.1 DNS service.
It’s irritating that this is mentioned in the same breath as banning X’s child porn bot.
Piracy isn’t on the same plane.
I am curious what latency a blocklist would incur. Anecdotally, pihole is faster with a block than a lookup even if it’s cached, but how that scales to cloudflare’s scale, I don’t know.
Generally with these things (1.1.1.1), (8.8.8.8),(9.9.9.9) they multicast the IP so it resolves to about the closest one. Each “one” being its own recursive resolver.
In fact: it’d be cool to show instead. If someone from the western hemisphere and eastern both ping 1.1.1.1, they’ll get response times that are smaller than the delay from NY to London.
I suspect that @[email protected] wasn’t referring to network latency caused by geographical distance, but instead to response delay caused by increased processing time due to additional complexity.
Correct. Reading is hard I guess.
Italy’s Piracy Shield sounds batshit crazy.
There need to be more efficient law enforcement and fighting of serious crime on the Internet. And that’s not it. The Privacy Shield looks badly badly designed as the article explain in length, and is not focused on serious crime. It’s a nuclear option put in the hands of the media industry for non-violent offenses, and target the whole network infrastructure rather than focusing on perpetrators.
