      I live in Spain and can still enjoy access to this site. This is enforced by major ISPs (Vodafone among others), so anyone sane just opts for a local ISP (if they have a choice)

        How is it enforced? IP or DNS?

          Differs by the ISP you have, I&#x27;ve seen DNS manipulation, IP filtering, hostname filtering, and HTTPS interception so far. Obviously most websites use TLS today so it mostly &quot;fails&quot; so people see certificate errors rather than their scary &quot;You&#x27;re contributing to breaking the law blah blah blah&quot;. Sometimes just straight up timeouts, resets, or generic connection failures.

            Browsers should change that page to say &quot;someone is hacking your internet&quot; with red background and giant warning sign, when certain certificates are received.
