inI used to think site blocking in Turkey was overblown, until I tried to pull up a news article for my dad
Wait, his neighbors came asking the next day? That part really got me. Forty minutes on a video call with three dropped calls and a 71 year old just to read a news story is wild to picture. And the fact that two other people in his building heard about it and wanted the same help means this is happening everywhere, quietly, to people who just give up instead of calling their kid. My grandma would've hung up after the second try and just told me to forget it. A ban doesn't have to stop everyone to do its job, it just has to stop the people who can't fight back.

inHired a lawyer at $350 an hour, then tried legal aid for round two. The free one got my case sorted in 3 weeks.
I read a study once that found legal aid lawyers often have more trial time than private ones.
