Buongiorno, ne dubito seriamente.
Il motivo è semplicissimo: CDN e VPN _non_ se ne andranno, quindi non resta che spegnere "Privacy Shield". Notizia di ieri è che il codice sorgente e la documentazione del sistema "Piracy Shield" italiano è stato trafugato su GitHub da parte dell'utente fuckpiracyshield [1]: https://torrentfreak.com/piracy-shield-source-code-internal-documentation-leak-online-240326/ «Piracy Shield Source Code & Internal Documentation Leak Online» --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- The source code of Italian anti-piracy platform Piracy Shield appears to have been leaked online. Nine repositories claim to contain everything from the front end, data models, storage and filesystem, through to the platform's API and internal documentation. Presented with a manifesto of sorts, the unknown leaker claims that Piracy Shield "isn't just a failed attempt to combat online piracy," it's a "dangerous gateway" to censorship "disguised as a solution to piracy." [...] In what could develop into the biggest crisis yet for the Piracy Shield system and those who operate it, nine repositories of source code, internal documentation, and other related data, claiming to be the various components of the Piracy Shield system, appear to have leaked online. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Dal punto di vista "pratico" è improbabile che la trafugazione possa avere serie conseguenze /tecniche/ sul sistema "Privacy Shield", serve "solo" a sottolineare che non è da paese civile nascondere dietro presunte esigenze di segretezza (sicurezza nazionale?!?) le informazioni, compresi i dati, la documentazione e gli IP bloccati, relative a quel sistema. Sì perchè non è normale che per sapere quali siano gli IP bloccati occorra un sito che "trafughi" (tra otto virgolette) anche quelle informazioni: https://piracyshield.iperv.it/ --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- The biggest problem is that IP addresses make up the bulk of the blocking while also producing the most errors. These errors can be devastating for innocent parties that unwittingly end up as collateral damage. Yet with no open reporting, holding perpetrators to account – if only to improve the system – could prove all but impossible. Any argument in favor of secrecy necessarily fails, since IPTV providers know before anyone else that their IP addresses are being blocked. That means those privy to the details of IP address blocking include AGCOM, rightsholders, ISPs, and pirate IPTV providers. The only people kept in the dark are those who become collateral damage through no fault of their own. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- (via https://torrentfreak.com/piracy-shield-iptv-blocks-reportedly-hit-zenlayer-cdns-innocent-customers-240215/) La trafugazione arriva in un clima già decisamente problematico per il "Piracy Shield", verso il quale sono stati espressi diversi i dubbi in merito efficacia nel bloccare *in generale* il traffico /illegale/ su internet, tipo: https://techhq.com/2024/02/does-italys-piracy-shield-work/ «Italy’s Piracy Shield proves the internet works - Legislating the internet proves…tricky. Whodathunkit?» 29 February 2024 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Political parties are fond of making big promises, especially when in opposition, and few such claims are more specious than the promise to ‘clean up the internet’ to protect its citizenry from the scourges of pornography, piracy, and terrorism. Political statements on the matter usually contain the word ‘children’ in the context of child abuse or protecting minors from the evils that lurk just a couple of mouse clicks away. While their aims are entirely laudable, they ignore or are unaware of the fact that the internet is not a place that can easily be policed either at national boundaries or by filtering content in an effective manner. The digital domain was never designed in a way that would allow total oversight, and attempts to impose the type of stricture required after the fact will always be hugely imperfect. Circumvention of stricture is in the digital DNA of the internet. [...] Sports fans at the weekend just gone soon discovered firsthand how complex a specifically-targeted act of traffic blocking can be. An IP address belonging to CDN Cloudflare found itself on the wrong side of Italy’s Piracy Shield, which prevented innocent traffic from reaching the ODW Prison Volunteers Association and Elimobile, a telecomms company, among others. [...] But because large CDNs aggregate data from multiple sources, the nefarious actions of just one of those sources can cause all of its clients to be tarred with the same brush. Bad actors are as wont to use CDNs as lawful parties, and traffic delivery assignment algorithms can’t differentiate between them. Additionally, it’s easy to mistake genuine traffic for bad traffic. In short, at a low level, things are very, very complicated, in ways not easily explained to those who draft laws. The Italian experience should be a salutary lesson for lawmakers the world over. Even with a tightly constrained remit, the fallout from attempts to control the digital arena is unpredictable. As a rule of thumb, preventing dubious data movements is borderline impossible to achieve with any accuracy. The public has to be made aware of this fact, so that when the next clarion call goes out for legislation to ‘protect the children,’ the populace recognizes there may be secondary motives – or utter ignorance – at play. Both possibilities are equally alarming, and it’s naive to believe that people in government are any smarter than most. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Mentre parallelamente le misure imposte attraverso il sistema "Privacy Shield" hanno già creato seri problemi al traffico legittimo: 1. CDN Zenlayer https://torrentfreak.com/piracy-shield-iptv-blocks-reportedly-hit-zenlayer-cdns-innocent-customers-240215/ «Piracy Shield IPTV Blocks Reportedly Hit Zenlayer CDN’s Innocent Customers» February 15, 2024 by Andy Maxwell --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- If initial reports coming out of Italy today are proven true, Italy's Piracy Shield system designed to block live sports piracy, is currently blocking Zenlayer CDN IP addresses and the innocent services reliant upon them. A claim that cloud services provider Cloud4C has been rendered inaccessible appears to be credible. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- 2. CDN Cloudflare https://torrentfreak.com/agcom-admits-piracy-shield-blunder-cloudflare-urges-users-to-complain-240321/ «AGCOM Admits ‘Piracy Shield’ Blunder, Cloudflare Urges Users to Complain» March 21, 2024 by Andy Maxwell --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- It may have taken almost a month but Italian telecoms regulator AGCOM has finally admitted that Cloudflare was wrongfully blocked by its fledgling anti-piracy system, Piracy Shield. There was no apology for the journalists accused of reporting 'fake news', or an apology for Cloudflare after disrupting its business. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- https://torrentfreak.com/piracy-shield-cloudflare-disaster-blocks-countless-sites-fires-up-opposition-240226/ «Piracy Shield Cloudflare Disaster Blocks Countless Sites, Fires Up Opposition» February 26, 2024 by Andy Maxwell --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Experts warned that a radical site-blocking program without proper checks and balances would end badly in Italy. On Saturday, at least one Cloudflare IP address was added to the Piracy Shield anti-piracy system. According to an expert, that ended up blocking a large number of websites, including a charity, a telecoms company, and several schools. It's the outcome many people predicted but one that could've been easily avoided. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- 3. CDN Akamai https://torrentfreak.com/live-piracy-shield-data-exposed-by-new-platform-reveals-akamai-blocking-240326/ «Live ‘Piracy Shield’ Data Exposed By New Platform Reveals Akamai IP Blocking» --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Following at least two major blocking blunders at Italy's Piracy Shield system that were initially denied, it was hoped that authorities would take the opportunity to be more transparent. While that has failed to emerge, live data from the Piracy Shield platform is now being made available via an unofficial third-party service. That has revealed yet more blocking blunders, this time involving Akamai IPs. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Oltre ad aver provocato la reazione di AirVPN, un provider italiano di connessioni VPN: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/57256-termination-of-service-in-italy/ https://walledculture.org/italys-new-piracy-shield-has-just-gone-into-operation-and-is-already-harming-human-rights-there/ «Italy’s new Piracy Shield has just gone into operation and is already harming human rights there» Posted on 14 February --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- This is Italy’s new Internet blocking system, which assumes people are guilty until innocent, and gives the copyright industry a disproportionate power to control what is available online, no court orders required. [...] Companies can compile block lists without any constraint or even oversight. If the blocks are unjustified, there are no statutory damages, which will obviously encourage overblocking. And proving they are unjustified is a slow and complex process, and only takes place after the block has been effected. [...] copyright is evidently regarded by the authorities as more important than fundamental human rights such as privacy and security. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Saluti, 380° [1] https://github.com/fuckpiracyshield -- 380° (Giovanni Biscuolo public alter ego) «Noi, incompetenti come siamo, non abbiamo alcun titolo per suggerire alcunché» Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
