alt Hacker News> The French courts have fundamentally misunderstood the working of the internet and the role of the domain name system
I think thus is the real problem. And you can easily replace France with Germany or US here.

At least in the US, it’s not a matter of "understanding". It’s a matter of "you are paid to misunderstand".
The law is vast and subject to various levels of interpretation. If there’s anything I have learned is that the court is just a rich persons weapon to "peacefully" resolve problems. In this modern capitalistic, greedy shithole we have dug ourselves into. Money and resources talks.
The US doesn't compel ISPs to block websites. The FBI will occasionally seize a domain after a court order, but that's it.
This is a pretty uniquely EU thing.
