To quote an old adage: "...interprets it as damage and routes around it."

This seems to apply more to black market trade than the modern internet. Information can't be stopped permanently, but the usage of various services on the internet can be made less convenient and curtailed, even by 2nd and 3rd rate governments, if only for awhile. Meanwhile, the most powerful state on Earth can't stop the inflow of illicit drugs.
