@FediTips That said. If a government want’s to close anyones server they simply can block the ip dress, or i’m a wrong? What just happend is that #trump ordered the closing of a website in italy. The start of more to follow. If not be fighting it back, all websites and servers that are not liked by trump could face this turn on them.

They did close the website, in effect. They stopped its domain name working, which they can do because all domain names run through infrastructure in the US (which obviously needs to change).
