Why shouldn't they resort to strongarming? Italy literally wants to blacklist IPs at whim for the entire planet. Cloudflare CEO is 100% in the right to strongarm them. Who do these people even think they are, to censor the planet's DNS?

They are not censoring the planets dns. Cloudflare is a private company that provides dns resolution and it must comply with the local laws of the multiple places it engages in business with.

Just like every other company. From italian isps to vodafone to google.

What makes cloudflare so special?
