They said the first week or so of September, and I believe them. Several of the manga I was tracking (sometimes with a VPN) like Beastars and Killing Bites and even Case Closed/Detective Conan were blocked worldwide, so the process has definitely begun.
It's a shame since I only discovered them at the beginning of this year, and was glad to see that they had some titles that, even if it was blocked in the U.S.A., were able to be seen/read with a VPN. Will check out mangabat, as well as this place.
