They mention &quot;measures restricting free and open access to the Internet&quot;, which is a gross exaggeration.<p>The TLD .cat has &quot;over 100 thousand active domain names&quot; [1], but Spanish judges have decreed the shutdown of 10 specific domains [2].<p>Nobody&#x27;s restricting &quot;free and open access to the Internet&quot; in Catalonia or elsewhere in Spain; it is very confusing (or manipulative) to say so.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.internetnews.me&#x2F;2017&#x2F;09&#x2F;20&#x2F;dotcat-registry-offices-raided-spanish-police&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.internetnews.me&#x2F;2017&#x2F;09&#x2F;20&#x2F;dotcat-registry-offic...</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.elnacional.cat&#x2F;es&#x2F;politica&#x2F;juez-proveedoras-bloquear-10-webs-referendum_192105_102.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.elnacional.cat&#x2F;es&#x2F;politica&#x2F;juez-proveedoras-bloqu...</a>
