AI Summary
Cloudflare is appealing a €14 million fine imposed by the Italian communications regulator, AGCOM, for resisting a "Piracy Shield" regulation that forces online service providers to block websites without oversight or due process. The Piracy Shield system is criticized for its lack of transparency, judicial oversight, and effective redress mechanisms, leading to repeated overblocking of innocent websites and essential services. Cloudflare continues to challenge the legality of Piracy Shield and the flawed fine, pushing for full access to records and transparency in the system.
