If you are connecting from an Italian ISP to https://mil04s43-in-f1.1e100.net you're going to be greeted by a message from AGCOM telling you the website has been used to spread copyrighted content.

This already happened with a Cloudflare CDN before. https://community.cloudflare.com/t/blocking-of-my-website-vi...

Ironically from not-Italy: Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to mil04s43-in-f1.1e100.net Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

Likely having to do with the cert being for *.googleusercontent.com, and that is decidedly not *.googleusercontent.com

Companies like Google and Cloudflare just really don't care that they host malicious content and have stopped taking meaningful action to take down reported content. That they'd be blocked at some point is completely unsurprising.

As it is, I have to explain to people regularly that clicking on "sponsored" links, or whatever Google calls them, doesn't work because we have to block "googleadservices.com" due to their hosting of malicious Javascript payloads. Certain very large companies that are very, very privacy and security focused insist on blocking known malicious Javascript hosting services, and Google is no exception.

Honestly I find it incredibly silly companies are still sending out notices to take down copyrighted content. Give up already. The battle is lost and now it's purely a waste of time and money.

Malicious doesn't mean copyrighted.
