I block stuff all the time (like ROKSO's DROP list). The only issue with
blocking domains of CPE is I imagine those domains change all the time
as they get shutdown, if you block the IP (from domain lookup) its
likely that IP maybe be legitimate in the future.
It should be stopped it at the DNS level, but even that has workarounds.
I would think CPE is a violation of terms of "most" registrars.

Hello all, was curious to know the community’s opinion on whether an
ISP should block domains hosting CPE (child pornography exploitation)
content? Interpol has a ‘worst-of’ list which contains such domains
and it wants ISPs to block it.
On one side we want the ISP to not do any kind of censorship or
inspection of customer traffic (customers are paying for pipes – not
for filtered pipes), on the other side morals/ethics come into play.
Keep in mind that if an ISP is blocking it would mean that it is also
logging the information (source IP) and law agencies might be wanting
access to it.
Wondering if any operator is actively doing it or has ever considered
doing it?
Thanks.
With Gratitude,
