Piracy Shield, the national platform against pirate streaming
Piracy Shield, a national anti-piracy platform developed by Sp Tech and donated by Lega Calcio Serie A to Agcom, is set to launch on February 1. The platform aims to combat illegal streaming of sports events by automatically blocking pirated content within 30 minutes of detection. The system involves rights holders uploading IP addresses or domain names of pirate sites, which are then blocked by telecom operators. Despite initial delays and technical challenges, the platform has undergone successful testing. Key stakeholders include major ISPs, big tech companies like Google and Microsoft, and regulatory bodies. The platform's effectiveness will be tested in the fight against illegal sports streaming, with potential expansion to other live events.
The first site shut down by Piracy Shield, the national platform against pirate streaming
Piracy Shield, a national anti-piracy platform managed by Agcom and donated by Lega Serie A, successfully conducted its first test by blocking an IP address associated with Aruba. The platform aims to combat illegal streaming of sports events, particularly football, by automatically blocking infringing sites within 30 minutes.

The Strike Against Twitter
An appeal published in Le Monde by three French researchers calls for a user strike against Twitter, now rebranded as X, on October 27, marking the first anniversary of Elon Musk's acquisition of the platform. The researchers argue that Musk's changes, including the introduction of Twitter Blue, have exacerbated the spread of disinformation and reduced the effectiveness of content moderation. The article highlights the removal of verification badges from reputable sources like the New York Times and the amplification of false information, particularly concerning the Israel-Gaza conflict. The appeal also criticizes the significant reduction in moderation teams, which has led to the proliferation of harmful content.
Why the YouTube Channel on Enrico Berlinguer Was Removed

The incident highlights the vulnerabilities in automated detection systems and the challenges of maintaining security even with two-factor authentication. Following the publication of the article, YouTube restored the channel and its content, acknowledging the hacking incident.
How Much Do Wiretaps and Trojans Cost Us
The Italian Ministry of Justice has published a new national pricing list for wiretaps and surveillance tools, standardizing costs across all Italian Prosecutor's Offices. The list, part of a reform initiated in 2017, aims to reduce overall expenses while maintaining service quality. The article details various costs associated with different types of surveillance, including phone taps, internet monitoring, and the use of trojans. It also addresses privacy concerns and the reactions from industry experts, who have mixed feelings about the new pricing structure. The reform is expected to save approximately 9.9 million euros annually. However, some experts argue that the monolithic pricing list does not account for the complexity of different surveillance tasks, potentially incentivizing providers to offer less sophisticated services.

The Ministry of Defense has a problem with anonymous reports

However, the requirement for users to authenticate with a Defense multi-service card, which contains personal data, undermines this anonymity. The decision has been criticized by GlobaLeaks developers and raises concerns about the effectiveness of the platform in protecting whistleblowers. The article also discusses the broader context of whistleblower protection laws in Italy and the potential issues with the Ministry's approach.
