Yes that seems to be the case - the blocking page is headed with "Ministero dell'Interno - Dipartimento della Pubblica Sicurezza - Direzione Centrale per la Polizia Scientifica e la Sicurezza Cibernetica - Servizio Polizia Postale e Sicurezza Cibernetica" along with official looking government logos but text underneath (in Italian and English) talks about a collaboration between govt agencies and ISPs. From mobile cell service it was not blocked.

The text does however mention it's a specific measure against child pornography, not re-hosting copyright content.
