Simple geoblocking IP tables or firewall rule. There’s no way their team couldn’t figure this out, Google has the answer.

I don't think folks like them would bother with geoblocking, given their principle. Most likely the French govt would block them first.

Seems like they're blocking French networks (ISPs?) instead of IP addresses, since GeoIP blocking was found insufficient by a German court. I struggled to understand their actual plans from their blogpost though, maybe someone else can interpret it better?
