You mean Cloudflare should implement the system that lets Italian government block any website in 30 minutes, with no judicial review of any kind? The very same system that has been known to have false positives?
I'll just have to disagree with you here.

I'm not on Italy's side but I can't say I respect @eastdakota's rhetoric...

That's one way of saying it. Another way is that US companies are so extravagantly huge and violate EU laws so much that the fines are correspondingly huge.
