It was not political speech: the blocked site included private information of citizens (census), without permission. You can not use your power as regional government to ignore the Constitution.

In addition, the web is now hosted in another domain, against the law, not because of "free speech", but because of using protected private information from citizens: https://onvotar.garantiespelreferendum.com/on-votar/index.ht...

This is not about "free speech", but about the sublevation of a regional government, against the rule of law, i.e. against citizen's rights.

Bullshit, then block the domain, not seize the TLD registar.

This is a very dangerous precedent

And yes, I think that the CONTENT is ilegal and I would denunce it if my data is there, but the TLD has nothing to do with that
