Two days ago I stumbled upon my first “451 Unavailable for Legal Reasons” page. (Of course they blamed the #GDPR.)
@keiyakins That was my feeling as well!
@miramarco But technically this is correct. The website you tried to visit was not available due to legal reasons.
I'm not sure if 451 really specifies that it has to be the government blocking the site.
@miramarco They were misusing the status code, it's specifically for things unavailable due to legal demands, not things you're refusing to serve so you don't have to comply with privacy laws.
