Who exactly is blocking and on what legal base? If it's Spanish ISPs and they are massively over blocking, why are there no legal actions against them? (E.g. for not fulfilling their contracts)
On the one hand, you have money and famous footballers. On the other hand, you have a bunch of nerds whining about the internet being broken. The average voter (and politician) is out watching the soccer match, and doesn't care about the internet.
Boredom is a bigger issue than hunger or thirst for the average person living in one of these obscenely wealthy countries. For them, impeding entertainment is to impede nourishment. Of course, while anything that aids the entertainment industry is despicable, I do think obstructing the internet is a nice treat for humanity. The only down side is to your point about the relatively insignificance of the people effected (nerds).
it's institutional corruption at all levels, legislative, executive and judicial. A systemic failure that favour abnormous private profits over basic rights of the citizens.
The effort required to change the situation is massive.
