Cloud Platform Vercel Slams LaLiga and Telefonica’s Piracy Blocks in Spain as “Unaccountable Internet Censorship”
LaLiga’s recent anti-piracy measures in Spain have ignited controversy over internet censorship. The football league, in collaboration with Telefónica, has implemented blocking mechanisms targeting unauthorized streaming of matches. However, this initiative has inadvertently affected legitimate platforms.
Vercel, a cloud hosting provider, reported that its services were disrupted due to these blocks, labeling the actions as “unaccountable internet censorship.” The incident underscores the challenges of implementing broad anti-piracy strategies without infringing on legitimate digital services.
