Sure, after 2.5 years. And after being blocked in the first place.

These sorts of court cases are rarely resolved quickly in any country that I know of.

It seems easy from the outside, but it isn't.

The primary difference lies in execution. Most countries would err on the side of permitting the site to continue to operate, as with an injunction in the U.S. Here, it was effectively treated "guilty until proven innocent".

In a freer country massive and immediate public uproar would have roasted hundreds of political careers and caused fast action at the top.

In an even freer country, it would not have happened in the first place.

What am I supposed to be impressed by?
