    By banning and blocking all VPN providers not based in Italy.

        Not mentionning that anyone can set up their own VPN server… Good fucking luck with that 💀

            I’d like to see them ban Microsoft azure, aws, or whatever Google calls it. Not to mention the numerous smaller providers.

            Italians will just pay with crypto to get around payment bans.

          I bet there comes the day that I need to share access to my server to allow people from other countries accessing the real free web through me…

          Or vpn hopping, works too.

      So by going harder on blocking content that China? Because that’s what they do but most of the big providers get through after a day or two of downtime each time the government make a change to block them.

      Sounds like a possible violation of EU rights. Similar practices have cost other governments dearly in the past.
