Yes. HTTP 451 "Unavailable For Legal Reasons" was made for this moment.

No, they should block with a very visible message, tailored to the british public. I know what that status message means, you know it, but the general public doesn't. They need the black page with big letters they used before with sopa/pipa/etc.

  • You can return a 451 error with a descriptive page, same as how sites have custom 404 pages

    • We need new 6xx codes. "Requests that are fine, need no redirection and have no errors but are blocked because of politics, overbearing laws or regime"
