The Ukraine data centers that host most of their reverse proxies were hit by Russian drones. A lot of the internet underworld is offline or in backup mode

Yes and the point of VPNs is that they don’t do this

also note “Sentences 1 and 2 shall not apply if the Service Provider intentionally cooperates with a user of its service in order to commit unlawful acts.”

TMG is obsolete anyway, replaced by DDG and you have to register as a service provider.

Hetzner will ban you if they get one of these letters, even if you aren’t in Germany

No, it’s exactly the same way Germany treats the threats this post is about. They send a warning, you ignore it. Then they sue you, you ignore it, they get a default ruling and subtract money from your bank account.

It’s literally exactly what they do for piracy

Usually the informal letter only asks for half the amount you will have to pay when you lose in court

And you will lose because Germany is totalitarian

That’s only in Germany though

No, they block all of Cloudflare’s IP addresses. This is punishment for Cloudflare not being able to take down any website globally within 15 minutes that the Spanish government says to take down.

As they should, it ruins it for everyone.

what is a Nazi business? If you mean every business in Germany is required to support Israel or their business license will get revoked, then yes.

That’s literally what they do. But they’re required by law to be able to trace an IP address, so it doesn’t help you. The copyright company asks for who was using this IP address at this time, and the ISP has to tell them.

all the cases in Germany

Germany does not have “innocent until proven guilty”. It has “guilty until someone else is proven guilty”. They will always find someone who has to pay compensation. There is no “we don’t know who did it because of an anonymizer service”, they will just make the anonymizer service pay instead.

Except when law says they don’t have to. Right now the law is that registered service providers can’t be fined on behalf of their customers, and there isn’t a law saying they have to be able to identify the customers. So VPNs get by.

Don’t actually do that. They will take that as admission of guilt.

In Germany, they don’t have to prove guilt, you have to prove innocence or else you get fined. If you don’t voluntarily pay the fine and they have to go to court, the fine doubles. The system is rigged for the corporations. That’s why they’ve done this in Germany for a long time. The expansions to other countries are experimental.

ML means machine learning. One clanker out of 66 said it’s a virus. Do you believe it?

A big Ukraine data center got hit by a drone, it was hosting lots of pirate sites

There’s nothing you can say or do to make climate activism palatable to those people. It’s best to ignore them, and steamroll them where it counts. The best revenge against them is stopping fossil fuels, and living well.
