They don't actually care about the block or ban, they just want to put in enough token effort that a judge in the area will feel that it was reasonably done. It's performative for the legal system.

No, not performative or token.

Blocking via geoip is a reasonable, best effort method in this case. It's doing a best effort to comply.

So not merely for performance without true compliance, or tokenism, which courts really frown upon.

Generally when you repeat my statement back to me, you do so in agreement.

Except that your statement contains the words 'performative' and 'token', which are the opposite of 'best effort' in a court.

And this is my point.
