Walled CultureMassive expansion of Italy’s Piracy Shield underway despite growing criticism of its flawsWalled Culture has been following closely Italy’s poorly-designed Piracy Shield system. Back in December we reported how copyright companies used their access to the Piracy Shield system to order Italian Internet service providers (ISPs) to block access to all of Google Drive for the

DeclanI really fear what <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Internet</a> is becoming. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cookies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Cookies</a>, accept, decline some nonsense shit that many do not understand; <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/laws" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#laws</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/restrictions" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#restrictions</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/vpns" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#vpns</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#bans</a>, policies, and other stupid rules that defending the world does not exist, etc. What has happened?
