Censorship of Sci-Hub in France, after a court decision
Raw
sci-hub.md

Seen by the RIPE Atlas probes.

The vast majority of the ISPs which do censor return the localhost address (186.2.163.90 is the real one):

% blaeu-resolve -c FR -r 1000 -q A sci-hub.tw 
[] : 12 occurrences 
[ERROR: NXDOMAIN] : 2 occurrences 
[186.2.163.90] : 235 occurrences 
[127.0.0.1] : 112 occurrences 
Test #20445233 done at 2019-03-31T18:50:16Z

Apparently, Orange implements the censorship, but not (yet?) Free. SFR is the one returning the empty answer.
