Consob Monday – Italian watchdog ordered black-out of five new websites!
It's Monday, 7 March 2022, and like clockwork, the Italian Consob issued orders to blackout five websites illegally offering financial services bringing the total number of websites blacked out since July 2019 to 645. Regulators in other regimes can only issue warnings against illegal providers. Consob can order Internet providers to block their websites for the Italian market. It would be desirable if other regulators were authorized by their legislators to issue such blackouts.
