    > The French gambling regulator said the site's continued availability constituted advertising. A ban on financial transactions to the site was already in place.

    It's crazy that French "regulators" can just order ISPs to block a website without any judicial review just because the mere existence of it on the internet constitutes "advertising" to French people.
