What wild times we live in that a regional court can block access globally to a website.

    "Block access" doesn't capture what happened. A court with personal jurisdiction over the website operator ordered them to take it down under threat of fines and jail time. Websites are operated by humans, who are subject to the laws of their local community.

    Yeah, I could have sworn we had a revolution to stop old men in Europe from telling us what we can and can't do.
