I’m sorry, I’m also not getting this. My understanding is that they cannot block the sites. But it looks like are doing it. I find it a little confusing.

They are no longer allowed to block servers based on IP addresses. (1 server with 1 IP address can host countless domains)

But domain based blocking (likepiratedmovieas.com) is still allowed.
