Update on Spain and LALIGA blocks of the internet

This post details how Spanish ISPs, under a court order from LALIGA, are blocking entire IP addresses associated with unauthorized football streaming. This indiscriminate blocking affects legitimate websites and services hosted on Vercel (and other platforms like Cloudflare and GitHub Pages) that share these IP addresses, leading to inaccessibility for users in Spain. The post highlights that this is a blanket form of censorship, ignoring SNI and not distinguishing between infringing and non-infringing services. Vercel is actively working with LALIGA to remove illegal content and is exploring mitigation strategies to restore access for affected users.
