It specifically cites Brazil as an example, that involved a complete block of the website.

More than that. The Brazil government made it illegal for it's citizens to access the site, as well as the use of a VPN. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_of_Twitter_in_Brazil, chapter 'Blocking').

I think it's a swell idea, banning your citizens from reading information you decide is wrong.
