And the funny thing is free football is working as always. I know because a friend is watching a game right now while he comments on HN.

- drnick1 1y agoThis is outrageous. Does Spain have a "Great Firewall" like China?
- alecsm 1y agoNo, they just make all ISP operating in the country mass block IPs.
- sunaookami 1y agoAnd one of the biggest ISPs, Telefonica, holds the rights to the soccer matches so they happily comply!
- sunaookami 1y agoEvery EU country has one, on nation- and on EU-level.
- CaptainOfCoit 1y ago> and on EU-level Are you claiming there is a EU-wide firewall that EU could use (not the countries themselves) to block arbitrary websites? The EU hate on HN is reaching conspiracy-type levels now it seems.
- sunaookami 1y agoRT.com, Sputnik News, etc. are blocked by the EU and the EU countries have to obey it, they have no say in this. This was done by Von der Leyen without any parliamentary oversight. It doesn't matter what your view on these sites is, it was a dangerous precedent. It also affects the TV stations.
