Bizzare how the tables have turned.

This just shows that censorship, once started, always runs out of control.

To be fair, this is more a result of the EU not being specific about their censorship so the providers have started to scramble to make their own lists without any oversight (which the article indeed identifies as a big problem).

If we're going to do censorship, have a clear process on it under democratic control with challenge processes etc.

At least these aren't actual blocks anyway. It's just cosmetic, just change the DNS and voilà.
