I'm so fucking confused by the way this is worded. Like, the internet providers I would expect, for like a DNS block. Google and Apple can at least argue some technical hokum about how they can't do anything about people who already have the app in court, although that's likely not true.
But if he walked back the entire order, does that include the ISP block, or was it just the part for Google and Apple? If it includes the ISP block... how is the site blocked at all?
