Thanks for the reply. Makes everything easier to understand. I guess we're going to see a boom in vpn subs in the next months thanks to soccer mafia.

Sounds to me that, in practice, rights holders will notify providers of suspected infringement, triggering their requirement to report to authorities, and it goes from there.

Yes. You are right. But if hypothethically my ip gets somehow reported, it could trigger this "awareness". Can proton know what I'm browsing?

The new "Omnibus" law in italy tries to block piracy by basically creating a situation in which you will face jail time if you get caught watching an illegal streaming (or your IP does) and ISP and IP providers (they name VPN and DNS services) will face jail time too if they don't notify the authorities of "illegal activity" done by their users.

E.g. if I watch a soccer streaming from a pirate site, apparently, my VPN provider (in this case, Proton) will have to notify the authorities that I am watching that pirated content.

This is madness in so many ways, starting by the fact that the law implies that both my ISP and my VPN provider must spy my traffic to see if I am watching any illegal content.

I wanted to know if Proton has anything to say about all of this for their Italian customers. How are you guys going to face this? Will you simply stop providing the service? Will you ignore the law because you are not an italian company? Or will you spy our traffic to see if we are watching a soccer game?

I'm quite worried right now about the implications of this law to my privacy. Not because I pirate content but because the punishement for those who don't notify the authorities means that to avoid legal problems, services like Proton will have to actually read our traffic.

They have power all right. It's quite simple: tell the nazi that he's on his own. That's it. The moment the nazi loses his "I'll call dad" card, we'll see how well he goes in the territory.

It's astounding the amount of buzzwords the tech bros will use every time they try to sell us some new AI bullshit.

A combination of things:

First, misinformation travels at light speed thanks to the lack of control in social media and internet.

Then, we have a generational crisis that is causing a strong lack of confidence in the actual political class because they are seen as incapable of resolving our generation issues.

Add to this that there is the perception of a strong migration problem (pushed by the far right).

The far right capitalizes on all of the above.

Also, it is treated like a cult by its followers because they thrive in environments where the intelligence is not required (it's actually encouraged to not be intelligent and critical thinker).

The far right is also known to be populist, and they don't need to be held accountable for their lies because their followers act as a cult.

If you sum this all up, you get our situation: young people voting fascism even more than boomers (look at Germany's last election).

It really is scary.

I do have as many too at work.

I use one VM for each iteration of my automation software. Our factory has machines ranging from the 90s to present day, and they use different software environments to be programmed. In order to minimize the risk of data loss, we have one virtual machine with every software environment, that way if one gets corrupted, the damage is contained. It also makes them easier to export to new computers when we need to replace ours.

Yes, but don't worry. This time we'll do the right thing:

Ignore the facts strong enough so we forget that it's happening by tomorrow.

This is not about you, but about them. It's not that you need a subscription. It's that they need you to have a subscription.

Now their candidate is the old fuck and is a felon who's fighting against a black woman (!) that used to send felons to jail.

Of course they are pissed! As they should be!

The more we know, the more this looks to me like a suicide by cop that wanted (and failed) to leave a huge thing done so people remembered him.

Excuse me, I'm pretty sure I'm not a girl and I want it!
