Internet Society Statement on Internet Blocking Measures in Catalonia, Spain
- tripu 9y agoThey mention "measures restricting free and open access to the Internet", which is a gross exaggeration. The TLD .cat has "over 100 thousand active domain names" [1], but Spanish judges have decreed the shutdown of 10 specific domains [2]. Nobody's restricting "free and open access to the Internet" in Catalonia or elsewhere in Spain; it is very confusing (or manipulative) to say so.
