Yesterday a quasi-judicial body in Italy fined @Cloudflare $17 million for failing to go along with their scheme to censor the Internet. The scheme, which even the EU has called concerning, required us within a mere 30 minutes of notification to fully censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal of European media elites deemed against their interests. No judicial oversight. No due process. No appeal. No transparency. It required us to not just remove customers, but also censor our 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver meaning it risked blacking out any site on the Internet. And it required us not just to censor the content in Italy but globally. In other words, Italy insists a shadowy, European media cabal should be able to dictate what is and is not allowed online.
That, of course, is DISGUSTING and even before yesterday’s fine we had multiple legal challenges pending against the underlying scheme. We, of course, will now fight the unjust fine. Not just because it’s wrong for us but because it is wrong for democratic values.
In addition, we are considering the following actions: 1) discontinuing the millions of dollars in pro bono cyber security services we are providing the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics; 2) discontinuing Cloudflare’s Free cyber security services for any Italy-based users; 3) removing all servers from Italian cities; and 4) terminating all plans to build an Italian Cloudflare office or make any investments in the country.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration, I appreciate @JDVance taking a leadership role in recognizing this type of regulation is a fundamental unfair trade issue that also threatens democratic values. And in this case @ElonMusk is right: #FreeSpeech is critical and under attack from an out-of-touch cabal of very disturbed European policy makers.
I will be in DC first thing next week to discuss this with U.S. administration officials and I’ll be meeting with the IOC in Lausanne shortly after to outline the risk to the Olympic Games if @Cloudflare withdraws our cyber security protection.
In the meantime, we remain happy to discuss this with Italian government officials who, so far, have been unwilling to engage beyond issuing fines. We believe Italy, like all countries, has a right to regulate the content on networks inside its borders. But they must do so following the Rule of Law and principles of Due Process. And Italy certainly has no right to regulate what is and is not allowed on the Internet in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Brazil, India or anywhere outside its borders.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN!!!

Having RO in your name is a must have for football greatness: Ronaldo, Rooney, Romario, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Robert Lewandowski, Roy Maakay, Robben, Robin van Persie…

How can 3 of the top 10 footballers ever have the same name. That’s crazy

@raphaelschaad Soon your transformation to the actual god of time will be complete.

Life update: I'm joining @ycombinator as Visiting Partner 🤩
Software ate the world, and now AI is eating software — the founders building in this shift will redefine how we compute, work, and live.
In my new role, I'm excited to find those founders and help them build the iconic startups of this generation. YC backed me when I founded Cron Inc. in 2019, and I'm grateful to come full circle and pay it forward.
I'll start reading applications in October, interviewing founders in November, and then pack my battered suitcase in January for the W26 batch 🔥
Follow along here & see you in SF!

Today is my last day @NotionHQ 🤍
In 2019, I founded Cron Inc. to build a beautiful tool that helps people make the most of their time. Cron Calendar quickly became beloved for its craft — and slotted into Notion like a missing Lego piece.
Together, we grew Notion into a multi-product company, brought Calendar to millions, and laid the foundation for launches like Mail and AI Meeting Notes. More recently, I had the privilege of supporting designers across the org.
Along the way, I worked with some of the most talented, thoughtful people. Grateful to my teammates, partners, and friends who made this journey unforgettable and now carry the torch forward. Merci.
While it's bittersweet to move on, I'm beyond excited for what's next! More on that after the weekend 👀

I wish @browsercompany would sell off @arcinternet to someone who doesn’t need to make VCs a bagillion dollars.
Then charge $20/mo for it. And update it.
I don’t know that I’ve ever been more bummed at a company sunsetting a product.

Today after 12+ years at Y Combinator I’ll be transitioning to a Partner Emeritus position. This role allows me to continue to do office hours with the 1000+ companies I’ve worked with in the past decade while giving me the free time to explore new adventures. It also means that the w25 batch was my last batch funding new YC companies.
The next adventure I’m excited to pursue (after taking the summer to relax) is how I can help government better serve its citizens. Thank you to the countless friends who have been pushing me in this direction for years. Government was the passion of my youth and I’m excited to reengage.
Thank you to @ycombinator @paulg and @jesslivingston for changing my life.
