He [MPAA CEO Charles Rivkin] added that almost 60 countries use site-blocking as a tool against piracy, "including leading democracies and many of America's closest allies." The only reason why the US isn't one of them, he continued, is the "lack of political will, paired with outdated understandings of what site-blocking actually is, how it functions, and who it affects."

No, you're the one who doesn't understand. We don't want censorship, and we have this thing called the 1st Amendment.

Australia's version is a dns block. It only stops people who don't know how to google or change thier dns.
