Movistar’s aggressive anti-piracy measures are disrupting access to legitimate online services in Spain.

This broad approach, which indiscriminately blocks Cloudflare’s shared infrastructure, impacts both illicit and lawful websites. The issue highlights the challenges of balancing piracy enforcement with maintaining open and reliable internet access.
