Blocking the top 100 most porn sites would do nothing because it’s incredibly cheap to register a new domain name. My point was more that it’s silly to even consider it as a possibility.

And just because this was a business decision doesn’t mean it’s not a moral one—they’re emphatically against you using your own device to your own ends.

Blocking the top 100 most popular porn sites would make it harder for users to reach those sites. It would harm he porn sites that they were morally fighting against by rendering their valuable domain names useless for a lot of users. It's not silly just because it's not 100% effective.

If they were emphatically against you using your device to your own ends, they would do something in the browser.

I can't say I care much about their intentions. I can say that they are preventing me from using my device very effectively.
