We‘ve already reported on how Italy‘s communications watchdog, AGCOM, has assigned itself the power to censor websites based on a copyright infringement claim from a copyright holder, without any sort of judicial due process. However, it appears that Italy‘s public prosecutor has decided to go even further and simply order ISPs to censor dozens of websites based solely on his say so that they were sources of infringing materials. No copyright holder made any specific claim about those sites. There doesn‘t appear to have been any due process, or really any process at all, other than that the public prosecutor decided which sites were „pirate sites,“ and then handed them off to the „Guardia di Finanza“ (the financial police, more or less), a part of Italy‘s Ministry of Economy and Finance, who went out and ordered ISPs to block access to these sites entirely.
