What many people dismiss as 'lying' would be typically described as 'complying with the law' in certain countries. It is unfortunate that operators in countries with legally-mandated DNS blocks are criticized for the actions they have no option but to undertake. IMO any such criticisms should more correctly be directed at the laws themselves or the governments that put them in place.
