Just last year, Italian ISPs briefly blocked the entire Google Drive
domain because someone, somewhere used it to share copyrighted material.
This is often called DNS poisoning or spoofing in the context of online
attacks, and the outcome is the same if it's being done under legal
authority: a DNS record is altered to prevent someone typing a domain
name from being routed to the correct IP address.

Interestingly, the blockades may not stop at the 14 domain names
mentioned in the original complaint. The ‘dynamic’ order allows SECP to
request additional blockades from Cloudflare, if future pirate sites are
flagged by French media regulator, ARCOM. Refusal to comply could see
Cloudflare incur a €5,000 daily fine per site.
“[Cloudflare is ordered to implement] all measures likely to prevent,
until the date of the last race in the MotoGP season 2025, currently set
for November 16, 2025, access to the sites identified above, as well as
to sites not yet identified at the date of the present decision,” the
order reads.

Hello, Nanog,
This is an ongoing issue that might affect your spanish users if you use
services like Cloudflare, Vercel, BunnyCDN or GitHub pages.
A couple of weeks ago, the most important ISPs in Spain started
intercepting or nullrouting IP addresses from this CDN providers.
The reason is that a couple of local court orders allowed LA LIGA (sports
association responsible for administering the two professional football
leagues in Spain) to provide ISPs with a list of IP addresses that host
soccer piracy sites to be taken down in a short period of time, even when
the football match is taken place.
The issue is that most of this piracy sites use Cloudflare and others to
protect themselves, so ISPs are nullrouting or intercepting IP ranges that
serve thousands of websites, including all Cloudflare Free customers (but
not limited to). For example, they blocked one IP address that served
ChatGPT.
These blockages are applied when the soccer matches are played and they are
turned off hours later.
Cloudflare has already taken legal action against this, but the issue is
still ongoing.
You can find more information about this issue on TorrentFreak (LaLiga
Blocks Cloudflare Again, New Pirate IPTV Providers & Anything in The Way),
