In a judgment of 20 March 2025, the Enterprise Division of Milan Court rejected the claim for damages (in the order of several tens of millions of euros) made against Cloudflare Inc. and two other Internet service providers by Mediaset Premium S.p.A. and Reti Televisive Italiane S.p.A. This judgment (while establishing injunctive measures with which the defendants are required to comply) joins the two judgments already issued in 2022 by the Court of Rome in ruling out any compensatory liability of Cloudflare for the content of sites that use its services. The Court of Milan confirmed that Cloudflare’s services fall within the categories of caching and mere conduit services, with the consequent applicability of the liability limitations provided for by e-commerce regulations.
