Italian term or phrase: oscuramento ed inibizione
This is from an article about a website being taken offline for a period of time, by law.

I think it means "censorship and prohibition" or something along those lines. It seems fairly common in Italian, but I am not 100% certain of the meaning in English. Any help much appreciated. Here's a bit more context:

"Com'e' noto, le misure di "oscuramento" ed "inibizione" del sito internet della societa' di diritto maltese, misure comuni peraltro ad una notevole pluralita' di bookmakers stranieri..."

Thanks :-)

"black-out" and "injunction"
Explanation:
The term you use in English when a website is enforcibly taken offline is "black out". As in, "the gov't blacked the website out because a hidden link led to a child pornography site" or something like that.

As for the prohibition, this is a good general word, but what the Italian might be trying to convey is the word "injunction".

If you need help phrasing it then please send the full phrase.
