- Italy blocks Women on Web (WoW) and Women Help Women (WHW) websites via DNS tampering, affecting at least 6 ISPs including Fastweb, Vodafone Italia, Sky Italia, and others.
- Blocking began in mid-February 2026, using techniques like returning bogon IP (127.0.0.1), NXDOMAIN errors, or redirecting to a block page with TLS certificate validation failures.
- The censorship restricts access to reproductive health information and abortion care, despite abortion being legal in Italy, highlighting gaps in access and transparency.
