I think that action was somewhat different in nature, though. It's an instance of Vogon-type bureaucracy that sends blocking orders to Internet service providers without an understanding of the issues.

By the way, in my career of 25 years of professional software development, I've only once delivered something that was certified to be bug-free.

That was when the company transferred our work, and the test servers, to India. We shipped the machines, and to send them, they had to be packed on pallets. The pallets were wooden. For Indian customs bureaucracy, I had to arrange a paper called phytosanitary certificate, which states that the wood has no bugs.
