Google DNS service not compliant with italian laws

In Italy there's a law that one can dislike (I do), but we have it...
This law says some sites mus be filtered at DNS level.

like Betfair.com.

Using a compliant DNS, one obtains this:

while using Google DNS one can reach the site.

I don't think Google, with a company incorporated in italy, with offices in Milan, is complying with italian laws.

Let's suppose I go to betfair.com thanks to google and I loose 10.000 euro, what would Google say ?

Similar situations exist all around the world, should we all change to common law and be bound to California regulations ? Or, if you have a civil presence in the country (an incorporated company), you should be bound to the laws of that contry ?)

I would not be surprised if something similar to what has happened with the video of the teenager with down sindrome being uploaded and shared for many weeks on youtube (In Italy there's a privacy law that states that any information which can determine the health status of a person cannot be shared without a written consent, something which apparently Youtube ToS ignored..).

If one doesn't play by the rules, I think he should not cry foul...

Well, is not so difficoult. :-)
If the DNS servers are in Italy they have to follow the italian laws, otherwise no law is infringed.

If I have some cannabis cigarette in Italy it is illegal, in Holland it isn't.
