Women on Web website censored in Spain since 2020
- diggan 3y agoDiscovered that this Canadian non-profit organization about abortion rights and "safe abortion pills by mail" was blocked by my ISP (AS12479 Orange Espagne SA), for some reason. Abortion in general is legal in Spain, and supposedly the country has some level of freedom of speech as well, although it seems relatively limited when it comes to talking about abortion, as this website was first blocked in 2020, and is still blocked today. Other websites that are blocked on my ISP are various file-sharing websites, IPTV providers and similar. But one could at least argue that those provide illegal services, so kind of makes sense to block it, although I don't personally agree with the approach. However, blocking political websites like these, clearly isn't something that should be done so casually as it's done today in Spain.
