Italy should have no right to take a website off the internet globally, which from what I’ve read this allows them to do. That’s insane.

They have all right to sanction or restrict a company which has a legal footprint in their territory.

When you are incorporating as a company in a country you are subject to their laws. Period. If that includes rules how you act worldwide, than that is a part of it.

Do not get me wrong, restricting free speech or apply IP law outside your territory is IMHO not right for a country to do.
