The Constitutional Court hasn't ruled out yet. Just suspended it while they deliberate.
That's why most of the actions taken have been ordered by the Attorney General and not a court... Because the ref is not illegal :)

- They don't want people to vote.
- Maybe if it's suspended you should refrain from going on with it until there's a ruling.
- They know what how they want the ruling to be, so they act like it was done already. They're just working on making it legally sound in the meanwhile.
Choose whichever you prefer, all those are guesses. The fact is that there's no ruling and that's easily verifiable.
Also, some of the operations these days are not actually ordered by TSJC but by a separate judge using an old (almost forgotten) case: http://m.huffingtonpost.es/2017/09/20/el-juez-ha-ordenado-la...
And during the first days of sites blocked no telco provided the court order they were in theory served. In fact, not all the telcos are blocking the sites.
So yeah, western democracy and all that. It all smells incredibly fishy and ad-hoc.
