    On ISP level? Only with DNS blocking. Which is pointless since you can simply change the DNS server to some non-ISP one. That’s probably why they want to force this stupidity onto browsers. Which is even more stupid and pointless.

        Single IP can host multiple websites. You really want to block half the internet?

      If you are technical enough to change your DNS server, you are technical enough to circumvent that
