    Modern Spain is having patchy record with digital age. Earlier:

    1. Blocked Telegram with a court order, reinstituted after public backslash

    2. Blocks Internet and Cloudflare during La Liga matches

    3. Prime minister Pedro Sanchez from Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) has demanded the end of anonymity in Internet

    They say it is to protect the kids, but likely it is to find out who watches La Liga without a premium subscription.

      What happened to Spain? They didn’t get hit by WW2 and yet…are a distant sixth in economic size behind even Russia.

          > Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

          But then again, discussing politics hardly ever gets less divisive here or elsewhere.

            The fault in that comment is to be unsupported by arguments.

            Otherwise, there would be no divisiveness in fairly assessing measures in Economics.
