    A few years ago, countries that claimed to be free didn’t dare do this, but Italy already filters access to foreign sites (as thepiratebay.org), and now plans censorship of domestic sites. Even worse, it is censorship without a trial. This sweeps aside a basic principle of justice. That’s why this specific regulation is unjust. But why is the Italian state willing to openly defy basic principles of justice in this particular area?
