    Apparently all of south western europe blocks half the internet in the name of football. Besides Spain there's also Italy, France, Portugal and surprisingly the UK somewhat.

    Personally, I welcome this. Archive.today has been blocking my country from using the site for years and for no good reason. Maybe if enough countries block the site, someone more reasonable will build an alternative.

    Access to information feels to me like a human right. Blocking that by any means (legal blockade, price unrealistic high) feels like an infringement on a Human Right.I know this isn’t the way the world works yet, but a Human can dream.

    Fun fact I learned in Spain recently. They block Cloudflare Edge IPs during soccer games. Took me a long time to figure out why I was having intermittent outages.

    Modern Spain is having patchy record with digital age. Earlier:1. Blocked Telegram with a court order, reinstituted after public backslash2. Blocks Internet and Cloudflare during La Liga matches3. Prime minister Pedro Sanchez from Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) has demanded the end of anonymity in InternetThey say it is to protect the kids, but likely it is to find out who watches La Liga without a premium subscription.

    Does archive.is have problems? I tried this article with it and it didn't work:https://www.wsj.com/business/entrepreneurship/burned-out-and...Error: Invalid InterceptionId.

    Did they find a La Liga game on it or something?

    I'd built something which can allow people to archive archive.is pages on archive.org.https://smileplease.mataroa.blog/blog/htmlpipe-and-how-we-ca...This could perhaps be used for this purpose.I have submitted it on hackernews once again: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49773417(Previously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47574562)
