Wait, 2021? :o
Either it was banned before the war for some reason or the numbers don't mean what I think they do.
Meh, whatever.

Yes, 2021.  From here I see this:

Yes, and nobody disputes that. Net neutrality is mostly about traffic shaping, but can also comprise blocking based on your personal definition of net neutrality.

As I was saying, one can not assign personal definitions to existing words.  Blocking is not neutrality.

I am an American with almost 400 years of familial presence.  Censorship is abhorrent and illegal here.  Somewhat constrained by the agenda of the current dominant political faction.

I suspect that the problem stems from a spam or DDoS attack from a block of addresses.  10+ years ago the admins blocked them.  Now no one knows why, but they are terrified of changing anything as they don't understand how it works.
