      Just out of curiosity: how is the blocking usually implemented? Do they block it via DNS, or is it more sophisticated?

        Is not nearly as common as you seem to imply, I have never had to deal with that kind of block in my life. It is being done by the isps themselves, thats all I know

      Can you tell us more about the motivations? Seems political more than anything specific musk is doing now that he wasnt doing before.

      Im happy to see X go down in flames, but I also dont want citizens silenced if fascism is creeping in.

        Mostly because of how Xitter refused to block accounts accounts related to an insurrection at the Capitol, then ignored court orders.

        That judge claims the people he wants banned from the platform are anti democracy and what not, but musk refused to comply. Its a complicated subject and my opinion is just that, my own opinion. That judge (most of them in fact) believe themselves to be all mighty, they interpret the law as they see fit and use their supreme court orders to do as they wish, when their role should be only to act as the highest instance of law in the country. Just today he also froze starlink’s account in the country to charge fines from the twitter issue, that is not exactly the correct way to go about it, he is over stepping his powers.

        To be short: fuck Elon but the supreme court here is also crap and needs a reform.
