That's not my experience with Movistar, they are throwing down the gauntlet

It's part of the EU sanctions, EU ISPs are required to block certain Russian sites. But they didn't specify how, that's left up to the countries to figure out afaik. But as you say, some of the what has been done barely qualifies.

Here's my personal experience with this:

Germany does exactly what you describe, the bare minimum to say "we're blocking" --- DNS omitting certain sites.

Spain is doing deep packet inspection, blocking DNS requests that lookup RT, so DNS over HTTPS or through a VPN is a must. Additionally, they're also reading the SNI in TLS requests and blocking that way. If you try accessing RT in pure unencrypted HTTP you're get some fortigate blocking message back.

I doubt that this was widely adopted

Hell, even amongst my peers, I'm continually shocked at how many people have never used gpg, ever. And, anecdotally, the number gets lower as age gets lower. Young people aren't using it. It's dying.

charge with what energy?

they shut down their nuke plants and the nordstream pipelines were destroyed by Biden (an act of war btw, but somehow Russia's their enemy and we're their ally)

The US government has a history of going after people that say no to them or that they don't like, yes. Qwest is a great example
