In a first-of-its-kind ruling, a Spanish court has labeled VPN services as “technological intermediaries,” ordering them to actively block IP addresses that host illegal LaLiga matches. The “dynamic” injunction compels NordVPN and ProtonVPN to intervene, similar to local ISPs. But with both companies operating outside EU jurisdiction with privacy-centric business models, it remains unclear if and how the order will actually be enforced.


You really think in 2026 that businesses operating within a legal grey area is rare?
This is not a “legal gray area”. What you’re talking about would be 1000% illegal.
Proton is not fucking Wells Fargo. They’re not going to make billions of dollars circumventing censorship in Spain.
Where? Do you really think laws are the same everywhere?
We’re not talking about anywhere, we’re talking about Spain.
