I'm sure they could block it completely if they wanted to... but not likely they'll go to such extremes for censorship... yet.

Looks like maybe Telus set up their DNS servers to do a manual override for greenpois0n.com so that it doesn't resolve properly... so it is censorship, but obviously not a complete one.

I mean, this is similar to what the US Government did with all those domains they seized... all they did was change where the domain name points to. If you knew the IP of the original site, you would still be able to access it directly.

No disrespect, but I'm actually surprised nobody else here instantly knew it was a DNS problem.
