Google Drive blackout in Italy

[Robert]

After blocking Cloudflare to prevent IPTV piracy just a few months ago,
on Saturday the rightsholders behind Piracy Shield ordered Italy's ISPs
to block Google Drive. The subsequent nationwide blackout, affecting
millions of Italians, wasn't just a hapless IP address blunder. This was
the reckless blocking of a Google.com subdomain that many 10-year-olds
could identify as being important. Reckless people and internet
infrastructure, what could possibly go wrong next?

The mind boggles...

Yes, 10 year olds can, because 10 year olds have an understanding of
technology that the 82+ year old lawyers (who likely still /dictate/
their writings) that make up the court that made the decision do not.

Heh. The 80+ are the people who INVENTED the technology. Not the
lawyers, of course. REAL people.
