Idk does France government knows that they can block addresses on ISP level but anyway, I'm not France government.
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.
If you are technical enough to change your DNS server, you are technical enough to circumvent that
ISP level blocking of traffic?
You can block IP addresses on ISP level.
We can argue about VPNs then, but that's not how Internet should work, right?
Single IP can host multiple websites. You really want to block half the internet?
