Well, they've heard people can use a VPN to bypass the current blocking (which is done by the ISP, usually through the DNS server) so they are looking for alternatives. It's only natural.

As far as I know, all governments block websites. What would be more interesting is comparing which one sensors the most.

(Nearly) all governments limit car speeds on public roads, with external enforcement (fines, road design, etc.).

Yet AFAIK no government enforces the national speed limit through a speed limiter on cars.

Exact same goal, maybe even result, but I'm uncomfortable with the semantics.
