Hm? Every ISP is able to block websites. This happens constantly, specially with piracy-related websites.

Yes sure. It's just very efficient apparently. More than expected for government technical stuff.
When I worked at an ISP we had standard procedures to follow when receiving requests from legal authorities. All our contacts were strictly mediated by our legal team, who filtered requests and prevented any direct contact with the authorities (which could lead to complying to illegal requests).
Pretty much the same in my country. And, as I've heard, there was surprisingly non-zero number of "invalid" requests.
