Why? From the client's perspective, there's no effective difference between 
these. Their request was rejected for some policy reason and it doesn't really 
matter whose policy has been applied.

Besides in situations where blocking is being done because of someone else's 
say so, it's highly likely that the DNS operator will be subject to some sort 
of injunction which prevents them from disclosing that such blocking is taking 
place. Think warrant canaries.
