This is the point where I would say, 'i don't care, let's talk about it'. Perfectly correct for them? Okay, cool. Also perfectly correct for the rest of the world to discuss... On freely accessable platforms... Look I'm not blaming you mseebach, and thank you for the insightful information, but from an outside point of view. 'I don't care' what the Constitution says. I can't do pretty much anything frm where I am, but I'll certainly pay attention to censorship for profit. It may not be useful, but perhaps one day it will. As for you personally, stay safe mate, be careful. I hope everything goes well for your country:-) Edit:big thumbs :--

It's perfectly correct and legal to discuss it within Spain too. (And it's been discussed non-stop for years). The app ban is a court in Catalonia preventing some public servants to keep using their positions and public funds to go on with an act that's been deemed illegal.

  Would it be acceptable for private citizens with private funds to organize a referendum then?

    Pretty much. What kind of law could possibly prevent that? Practically speaking, a privately organized referendum would need access to census data, and wouldn't have binding implications.

    I guess it depends on what do you mean by “referendum”. Private citizens could also organize with private funds a US presidential election, but the winner wouldn’t become POTUS...

    Three years ago there was a “poll” that was organised nominally by non-gubernamental organisations. Turnout was small and control on who voted or how many times was also not great. It was closer to a demonstration, but of course didn´t have any binding result.

(Previous President of Catalonia and other officials have been recently convicted of using around 4 million euros in promoting and organising the event. As this is spending public money is something not oficially approved in the budget, it’s ilegal. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-13/former-catalan-leader-convicted-over-2014-vote-on-independence https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-13/former-ca... 0
