What a great story, Cloudflare escaped penalties and further scrutiny over it's limited site blocking regime after the copyright cartels requested penalties for failing to sufficiently comply in-so-far as they aren't blocking sites via their 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver (only through their CDN):

"Canal+ also argued that, under the EU Court of Justice’s UPC Telekabel Wien ruling, intermediaries must block effectively. The Paris court disagreed. In its view of the same ruling, intermediaries only have to take reasonable measures, which Cloudflare did with its CDN blocks.

The court therefore rejected the requested penalties as neither necessary nor proportionate. In addition, Canal+’s request for €20,000 in legal costs was also denied."
