Back in October, Walled Culture wrote about the grandly-named “Piracy Shield”. This is Italy’s new Internet blocking system, which assumes people are guilty until innocent, and gives the copyright industry a disproportionate power to control what is available online, no court orders required. Piracy Shield went live in December, and has just issued its first …
Or not. “All VPN and open DNS services must also comply with blocking orders”. A VPN provider can’t legally sell their services in Italy unless they comply. The best part is: since the govt is blocking websites they can also block providers who doesn’t play according to their rules :)
Someone will figure out a way to get around it. People can get a VPN through the great firewall of China, they will get through whatever Italy does as well.
This is a definite no for moving to italy. They should also be kicked out of the EU for this.
They should be kicked for constantly electing Faschists…
I mean, that would kick out more than just Italy.
Hungary as well… Oh no what a loss… Anyway…

Could you buy another VPN through a VPN?
You can buy Proton by mailing them money and going through TOR, so basically yes.
Putting performance aside, you can but still raises some legal and billing questions.
You just have to self-declare you don’t live in Italy.
