Internet providers are increasingly tasked in the role of anti-piracy enforcers and instructed to block pirate websites and services. In Europe, court-ordered blockades are now commonplace, but ISPs are cautious when it comes to further expansion.

    That urgency of blocking websites should be used to take down CSAM and truly dangerous content, not piracy imo. But they only care about money as usual.
