They are litterally mentioning Norwegian ISPs blocking "Human Rights Watch" right in the next sentence after talking about blocking gambling ads.

Am I missing something or how is the one sentence a source and the next one isn't?

If you look further down in this comment thread, that claim has been repeatedly debunked, likewise for Match.com. These sites have never been on any widely adopted DNS blacklist in Norway. It appears censoredplanet analyzed data from a corporate-only ISP.

"looking down this comment thread" is now more science than the findings of acutal scientists? Huh...

I don't know why you view scientists as automagically infallible. Mistakes are quite possible, as are misinterpretations.

For what it's worth I live in Norway. Neither of those domains are DNS blacklisted, nor have they ever been - with the possible exception of on one specific corporate ISP (CATCHCOM). If you disagree, feel free to show some evidence to the contrary.
