    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.

        Russia low GDP is actually not true. In real terms is bigger than Germany's.

          GDP just measures how expensive things are.

          PPP is a misunderstood, distorted and often semi meaningless metric
