That is wild. Which other country gives a private body the power to ban any IP address for the entire country?

Italy.

Both countries are soccer addicts, funny

		I am somewhat surprised (and happy) germany is not in on it already. There are already (afaik voluntary) block lists ISPs are applying, but I am surprised its not breaking things on a similar scale to italy and spain, an that the DFB isn't already piping /dev/urandom-domains into it...

I mean, the power was given by the court, so you could argue that the ISPs are just following court orders.

On the other hand, there's SpaceX which has the power to block an entire country from accessing the internet.

		You could only say that if the IP address list was given by the court to the ISPs.
