The same way the US government bans certain sites from existing in the USA - (attempted, at least) the pirate bay, child sex trafficking sites etc.

If a government of a country defines a website illegal, then that website simply will not be accessible from that country, end of story.

The US, despite leading the charge vis-a-vis the MPAA, has speech laws that make website blocking and censorship extremely difficult.
