A lot of trust in the government to only ban websites which are actively unhealthy for citizens and not websites which are critical or unfavorable to said government.

I do wonder, was Polymarket given a chance to prevent itself from being accessed/used from Spain? They seem to be a-okay with blocking usage from US states that have asked them to cease operation, so I don't see why they would try to actively defy countries that have (legally) asked them to not do business there?



This isn't a slippery slope. They ban gambling. Polymarket is gambling. It gets banned.


It's a slippery slope giving the government the technical means to ban websites.


They just remove it from the ISP's DNS, changing your DNS server will bypass it. I don't really call that a ban personally, more like softly hiding
