That is a risk of a walled garden like iOS.

There's always the web. Good luck banning a website.

In France they use lying DNS.

Most of the users have their default DNS set up: the ISP ones, and the french ISP dns' must comply to the law.

If you want to access SciHub for exemple, you need to change your DNS config to something else.

Oh yes, but most of the people doesn't know, so it's effective.

At some level, that's also how the "Great Firewall" works. Avoiding it is inconvenient enough that most users don't even know how to do it.

It's far more hard, and dangerous to avoid it.
