14. Illegal Streaming

Upset over illicit sports streaming websites, Canal+ petitioned a French court to order Google, Cloudflare, Quad9 and Vercara to no longer resolve queries to domains like antenasports.ru. We discuss whether the court's decision to side with Canal+ amounts to "internet censorship" and whether it will have any effect. Check out our accompanying article at royalpalacemedia.comA few precisions/corrections:- Canal+ Groupe has been recently restructured such what we said about Vavendi is not longer up-to-date (the firm remains nonetheless under the control of the Bolloré family).- The acronym for the Inter-planetary File System is "IPFS" but Patrick mistakenly says IFS because interplanetary is arguably one word.- Our website does not have a certificate issued by Cloudflare, but rather Google Trust Services which is one of the five certificate authorities Cloudflare uses to issues SSL certs.
