The EU regularly forces DNS server operators to remove entries or redirect certain domains. It’s super easy to circumvent but most users don’t know that.
The sites I’m thinking of never had their IPs completely blocked, the DNS entries for the domains were just removed. If you were to switch to a non-EU or self-hosted DNS server you’d get to the site.
But the domains in question are generally ones the US/EU/NATO propaganda machine has told people are bad, so there’s no outrage when they’re blocked. In many cases there are often cheers.
It’s insecure, which lets governments like China poison it. They straight up block encrypted DNS

I still remember that time some judge ruled to ban a IP belonging to Cloudflare and the internet was on fire for a day in my country.

It’s not insecure at all, quite the opposite. Also with DoH, it blends into regular traffic.
DoH is blocked in China, they cut any TLS connection to a known DNS server (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9, etc.)
