Oh the fallout for that will be hilarious, to non-Italians at least.
@arstechnica Wait, is Cloudflare the good guy? Is there even a meme for that?
@arstechnica I don't like Cloudflare, but this is definitely the right decision. DNS providers should not relate IPs to customers, but IPs to host names.
@arstechnica
By Pirate Sites is Italy talking about Chat GPT?
@arstechnica Now when I see Cloudflare pop-up to verify me, I may determine I am connecting to a pirate?
@arstechnica quad9 does this and it took me awhile to figure out what was wrong...
