The Europeans are extending their war on free speech to America via American companies. From Thomas Kolbe at zerohedge.com:
Italian authorities are attempting to force the internet service provider Cloudflare to delete and block certain online services. Cloudflare is resisting and has turned to the U.S. government for support.
The fight for a free internet is intensifying.
The struggle over control of information, censorship, and economic dominance in the digital space is increasingly becoming a fundamental civilizational question. That the European Union now sees not only the EU Commission but also national governments and security apparatuses siding with information diktats, against the fundamental principle of free speech, sends a dangerous signal to the world. The EU has effectively withdrawn from the circle of freedom-oriented state actors.
Into this picture fits a recent report from Italy. A tweet by the founder and CEO of the internet infrastructure provider Cloudflare, Matthew Prince, has caused a stir.
Prince reports that Cloudflare has been hit with a $17 million fine by a — as he calls it — clandestine cabal in Italy. The accusation: Cloudflare refused to participate in an Italian censorship mechanism at the behest of this group.
The rump vassals in their Soviet rule by unelected council irrelevance think they run the world.
A visit from Oreshnik will cure that delusion.

Love webbernetts as I just learned that old tubes like the ones used in vintage guitar amps are still used by RF.
They haven’t been made in FUSA for years and are immune to EMP.
A guitarzan bud had to ship a vintage Fender silver face twin reverb to South America at great cost to get it back up and get the tubes.
