#6Wtf? Just the other day I had chat about how stupid this is: they're blocking cloudflare to stop pirates!
So half the internet goes down, but pirates just.. Don't use cloudflare anymore.. Or use a proxy... Or use tor...
These policies cause nothing but collateral damage, and now apparently they've decided to cause some more of it!
Good job Spain.

Main ISP in Spain dynamically blocks IP it suspects sharing sport competition live streams. Began with football, now extended to other sports.
