I hope that all 8000 accidentially blocked sites will demand being paid for damages. If each site gets a million in damages, it would be a nice reminder for the governments world wide that censorship is a bad thing.
- pavlov 15y agoI don't think a Danish court would order the Danish government to pay a million dollars to a foreign company for damages due to mistakes made by Danish officials. That's just not how it works in a small country...
- oellegaard 15y agoDefinitely not. Furthermore you must be able to proof that you actually lost the money according to Danish legislation, so you will have a hard time sue'ing for millions of dollars for a short outage caused by an accident.

They can demand all they want, but most govts give themselves rather wide immunity wrt such things. They have the authority to block sites. They have procedures for doing so and have wide discretion as to what procedures to use. They made a small mistake in applying said procedures. There's little/no chance that they'll be held liable, no matter how much damage you can show.
