A few pointers re the internet angle — because they're at hand, not
because it's the most important or interesting aspect at all:

Execsum: "The offices of the .cat registry were raided by Spanish police
this morning. The Guardia Civil officers entered the .cat registry’s
offices around 9am local time this morning and have seized all computers
in the domain registry's offices in downtown Barcelona. The move comes a
couple of days after a Spanish court ordered the domain registry to take
down all .cat domain names being used by the upcoming Catalan
referendum."

Execsum: "We are concerned by reports that this court order would
require a top-level domain (TLD) operator such as .CAT to begin to block
'all domains that may contain any kind of information about the
referendum'. We do not see it as the expertise and mandate of TLD
operators within the Internet’s ecosystem to engage in monitoring and
blocking of content outside of receiving judicial requests related to
specific domains.... We are concerned that network blocking practices
are multiplying as a way for countries to police online content around
the globe."
