Also Italy's AGCOM, the most unhinged of the national regulators enforcing the DSA + other important laws, tried to fine Cloudflare 14.2 million Euros and @eastdakota.com is NOT having it.

Gleninagh Castle • The Burren • County Clare
This towerhouse was built by the O’Loughlins who called themselves the ‘Princes of the Burren’.
