⚡️🇪🇸 NEW - A Spanish court ordered NordVPN and Proton VPN to block access to specific IP addresses linked to websites illegally streaming LaLiga football matches.
>The order requires the VPN providers to render the listed IP addresses inaccessible from Spain using their internal systems.
>It applies to a dynamic list, allowing LaLiga to update blocked IPs in real time
>The ruling classifies VPN providers as “technological intermediaries” under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), holding them responsible for preventing access to infringing content via their infrastructure.
- NordVPN and Proton VPN were not notified in advance.
- They had no chance to appear in court, present a defense, or challenge the order before it was issued.
Both companies have publicly stated they were unaware of the proceedings until LaLiga announced the ruling.
