Cloudflare Reports Surge in Geo-Blocked Pirate Site Domains

Cloudflare's latest transparency report shows that the company geo-blocked nearly 2,800 domains in the second half of 2025, up from around 300 in the same period a year earlier. These blocking actions took place in France, the UK, Belgium, and South Korea. Cloudflare confirms that it has not blocked content through its public DNS resolver. That refusal recently cost the company a €14 million fine in Italy.
