They're suspending service to French users, not physically leaving (I don't know where they are). It seems they're not sure how to do that, though.

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?

how? They use DNS to "block" access to websites by not resolving domain name, if they would have an other way to block a service they wouldn't need to ask DNS provider to do so

They can make the ISPs block certain IP addresses, perhaps
