Legally speaking, they can't. It doesn't matter where the ship will be docking. Anything otherwise is a crime against humanity. International laws and EU laws are bigger than any Italian authority and Italian laws that has been ever established.
Not at all. Laws has to be compatible with universal laws, international treaties/laws such as UN Geneva Convention and for Italy also the EU laws. Along many other conditions such as arbitrariness.

No they don't. What authority enforces that?
If not other country or international body has the willingness and capability to go to war with Italy in order to enforce its opinions, and if no country is willing to shun Italy over this or Italy is fine with the shunning, then Italy can have whatever laws it likes.
They do. I do not have to convince you that 2+2=4. If you have read recent European Human Rights Court decisions, you can clearly see what kind of domestic laws is in violation of law. (Yes, I mean some domestic laws are in violation of laws)
> They do. I do not have to convince you that 2+2=4.
Yeah, because you're trying to convince me that 2+2=5.
> If you have read recent European Human Rights Court decisions, you can clearly see what kind of domestic laws is in violation of law. (Yes, I mean some domestic laws are in violation of laws)
And what's that court going to do to make Italy comply?
For instance: I can claim until I'm blue in the face that everyone has to comply with some "universal law" that I declare, and I can issue statements to that effect, but in reality that's totally meaningless because I lack the power to make others follow me. There are a lot of international bodies that makes similar claims, and similarly lack the power. Maybe those bodies persuaded you, but that doesn't matter to the unpersuaded.
International relations is literally anarchy. Sometimes there's cooperation that looks like law, and rhetoric that that claims the moral force of law, but the reality is anarchy -- which is why Putin was able to invade Ukraine and North Korea's government has remained in place for 70 years, doing things liberals find to be horrific and "illegal" the whole time.
I'm sad you feel that way, but I guess I won't change your mind with any arguments I might make.
For myself, I see myself primarily as a human, not a white human, or a male human, or an English human, although they all contribute to my identity. I just don't see those things as of primary importance, and are merely accidents.
Article 8: "[...] the webfonts (= WOFF2 files) can be used on up to three websites owned by the license buyer. [...] read–write copies of my fonts can be embedded in word-processing documents that will be shared with fewer than 20 people."
Now some font license is expecting me to keep track of how many people a document gets shared with? Dystopian. What if I print it? Why is that allowed, but a digital file is not? How does that mesh with "Licensed users can use my fonts in any way they like"?
Also what does it even mean with a read-only format? Every file format can be ripped and converted, even if there is no widely known tooling to do so. A read-only format is not a thing that is possible. You can always just take some screenshots, or use a scanner, and reconstruct the font.
There is law in Turkey which is passed in the state of emergency (2016) and these laws later become permanent. If the government demanding anything from a Turkish company and this demand will not be complied quickly, then the government takes the control of the company (replacing boss, changing banking passwords) temporarily in order to comply. This process does not involve judicial authority but an administrative one. It wouldn't matter if it involved judicial authorities because justice system is worst kind of joke.
I know it because they took control of our company in 2016. The reason in the decision: "inspector found no evidence of tax evasion, which is suspicious for a Turkish company, therefore we take control of the company." (not joking)
I wish the TLS Name Constraints extension were widely supported. Then browser vendors could just say that until that law gets repealed, they won't accept root CAs from any Turkish entities without a Name Constraints extension limiting them to only sign within the .tr TLD.
This is why certificate transparency is so important. They can sign fraudulent certificates and MitM websites for a short while, but the CA will probably be permanently blacklisted if any browser in the wild encounters these certificates.
Turkey can eliminate their trust based companies one by one if they deem it necessary, but for a government seemingly trying to focus on export the distrust would probably hurt more than it would yield. See DigiNotar and WoSign/StartCom.
It is very easy for Turkish government to issue fake certificates via a Turkish company. They did it with Turktrust once (CA certificate issued to EGM and EGM issued a cert for *.google.com, EGM stands for Turkish Police), they can do it again.
Any government that can seize the domain can issue a fake cert for that domain, so no matter what is put in place, the Turkish government could always issue a fake cert for .tr - or any other domain owned by a Turkish company.
The *google.com stuff is the more dangerous, but that can be detected pretty quickly if widely deployed - the intelligent way would be to only do so in very target situations and very, very rarely.
(Google added certificate pinning and other things to try to protect against this in the future)
No government can do it as easy as Turkish government, in many of the countries they have laws and there are mechanisms to ensure they are followed - if not there are punishments. Turkey does not have laws as for 2022 (they only exists on paper and no one cares). If Turkey does this there won't be any punishment to itself for harming the CA company and any journalist reporting this incident will be thrown to jail, if not killed for exposing Turkish Intelligence secrets.
The probabilities talk. 0.00001% this is happening in Europe (which would ended up with punishment for liable parties) vs. >50% this is happening in Turkey (punishment of journalists for exposing this etc).
If a country is corrupt from top to bottom then it doesn't really matter what the laws are.
But in the US the same thing can happen completely legally, via a National Security Letter, with no real oversight or appeal. And much of Europe is starting to follow the same path.
Sure, Turkey is way more likely to do it than other countries, but it is done in various places and various ways - the US even has a default page for "this domain has been seized" and they've been known to run "illegal" domains for quite awhile collecting data.
Which is not the same thing with issuing rouge certificates to MitM you, especially for political purposes. For example, a winner of local best talent TV show (Atalay Demirci)'s Twitter account hacked and his messages published online and just because of his ordinary messages with a former Turkish deputy (Hakan Sukur), who is now in exile in the U.S. - he got jailed for political reasons.
So a rouge certificate for *.twitter.com can really ruin ordinary people life in Turkey. We are talking about a human life here.
I rather have my VPN track me than ISP does. For example, connection to Signal and Kakaotalk servers is used as an evidence of being a member of a terror organisation (!) in Turkey. Evidence is gathered by Ministry of Communications from the ISPs, whom they have to provide real-time connection data to the State including CGNAT records. With a VPN, it is almost impossible (depending on setup, i.e. NAT) to obtain such an evidence - especially for political purposes, even if the VPN provider willingly give logs, no way to prove that info is legit.
I guess it depends who your adversary is. If it's the Turkish government, then you are probably safe to trust a foreign mainstream VPN. If you're trying to avoid scrutiny by a five-eyes western government, you need to be somewhat more careful.
I really hate China because of their genocide against Uyghurs. But this sentence is pretty unreasonable:
"some employees in China, in charge of clearing internal security protocols, can indeed access certain information from United States-based TikTok, such as public videos and comments."
I mean no one can prevent anyone to have access to "such as public videos and comments", including the public data in other social media platforms.
Other social media platforms are manipulating as well. Including Facebook (Cambridge Analytica) and Twitter (famous journalists accounts blocked in Turkey, for example former NBA star Enes Kanter Freedom's tweets can not be seen in Turkey isn't it a manipulation alone? and it has been proven that Turkish Intelligence with Ministry of Internal Affairs using bots to manipulate the social media and Turkish Police regularly posts serious statistics about some hashtags - including the number of tweet belonging to what they call as "terrorists". I mean basically Turkey has more powers on U.S. data than this specific TikTok employee mentioned in the article had).
America is a free country. If we are talking about addictions, parents should use built-in or third party software to control their child's screen time, or their online activity - or block specific social media platform altogether. If this kind of addiction is a serious issue, there should be, both public and private, awareness campaigns. Censoring things always backfire, I never saw a case that it worked as intended.
I am not sure about Linux kernel internals and I/O operations. However, on Windows kernel the filesystem (or any driver incl. networking) can complete an I/O operation in non-blocking way, it just marks the IRP (descriptor for I/O operation) is pending and complete it later in different context (i.e. in an interrupt handler even when it is in different process/thread context). Since the user mode application can wait for multiple different kind of objects at the same time (this includes networking, file, mutexes, events), I guess in theory it can really scale when thread_count = core_count.
The same exact thing happened after 15 July 2016 (Erdogan staged a coup attempt on his own) in Turkey. To put it simply it was the beginning of the genocide of peaceful Gulen movement members or anyone who had any kind of connection with them in the past.
The bank that I had account + credit card was shut down (stolen by Turkish state) with the decree laws. My brother had an additional account in another bank. That bank terminated his account and credit card using decree laws as a reason, no court order.
We lost our jobs, money and freedom in a single night. Our company was shut down by the state without due process. My relatives, friends and colleagues got jailed and tortured by Turkish police and soldiers. We got fired and almost none of us were able to get employment (we got work permits revoked) code 36 (fired due to decree laws) is on social insurance records. University degrees of some of us cancelled by the decree law. There are thousands of things I want to tell but it is too long. At the end my brother became a permanent resident in Canada via asylum and I am an asylum seeker in Greece (decisions take way long here). My relatives and friends still in jail in Turkey.
To put it simply, what Canadian government is planning right now is a clear way to go for genocide. Killing people economically is a part of genocide method (don't ask me where I know it).
Lol give me a break. This was a handful of people directly involved in the protests occupying Ottawa for three weeks who had their accounts frozen. Comparing the governments of Canada and Turkey is just absurd.
Yep, close to 100,000 arrested, 500,000 investigated, 150,000 public servant dismissed, 319 journalists arrested in Turkey [1]. What is happening in Turkey is very different than Canada.
Why downvote? Everything he said is true except that Erdogan staged the coup attempt. He probably know about it much earlier and did not intervene, but it is too much to claim he staged it. Regardless, lots of people had their assets seized or frozen by government or people close to it without due process.
Also equating what is happening in Turkey or Canada to Genocide is a bit too much :)
Your comment is really interesting but it is probably getting downvoted because of the last paragraph. Accusing the Canadian government of planning genocide is way over the top.
Given that modern technology enables silencing political opposition without necessarily murdering them, some might argue that we'll see fewer murders in the future.
But China is a good counter-argument to that assertion. It's very technologically advanced, yet its totalitarian regime is continuing to commit atrocities (murders, work camps, prison sentences without due process, etc.) against Uyghurs.
I don't think that is entirely true. For example, if a cheating happens in an online game you don't wait a court decision to ban the player - taking the justice on your hands and expect to not be punished. Or killing a person is illegal but you can use your self-defence rights if the other person is trying to kill you. You can use interfaces from copyrighted language (Oracle v. Google) for fair use purposes without getting a court decision first.
If the thing that you are trying to do is legal by universal laws, international laws and national laws (in order). You don't really need to worry.
In that stealing example let's assume someone stole something and you "stole" it back. Good luck for the first stealer to initiate a court case - which probably the stealer will not initiate because he will lose it plus with the expenses for the court. No court case meaning no complains therefore no crime.
There are many old games that runs some kind DRM system that is using deprecated Operating System API's - some of them are undocumented and mostly operated in ring 0.
Just because you pirated a game that you own a copy, in order to play it on newer version of operating system does not make you criminal. You may need a court decision only if you are not able to private or fix it without the company help but that's all.
If I remember correctly the CreateFileEx win32 api takes a flag and template file handle to copy when creating a new file. Maybe the copy operations can use this api and expect AV software to ignore the operation. (I have no idea about the performance of such approach)
Or maybe a syscall (preferably at filesystem level) that can be introduced for bulk copying purposes and AVs can ignore such calls.
The template parameter is related to attributes, not contents. AV would still have to scan the data that is written to the file.
--
[in, optional] hTemplateFile
A valid handle to a template file with the GENERIC_READ access right. The template file supplies file attributes and extended attributes for the file that is being created.
