As a europe federalist, I would think it is more likely EU would implement these restrictions itself instead of step against Spain.

> there need to be EU-level regulations against individual countries, such as Spain and Italy, implementing these absurd restrictions

Why should other EU members care what websites Spain allows their citizens to access? Does the "EU" even have authority for such a thing?

The EU is in favour of this kind of rubbish, as is the UK. We need to kick these idiots out of power.

I don't think there is EU-level "regulation" in this specific thing. However there is something somewhat better: European Convention on Human Rights. It's just that challenging these kind of bans via that route is very slow (similar how slow it is to challenge the laws which go against the Constitution in the US via Supreme Court).

The EU is more likely to enact more censorship than other way.

I would say the root problem is not someone seeking to prevent piracy but rather the fact that so many services are clustered behind the same proxy / CDN service (e.g. Cloudflare).

That in my view is what needs to be regulated and Cloudflare designated as a “gatekeeper” with all the responsibilities to go with that.

La Liga would never be able to secure blanket bans if people and services were more decentralised
