My 2c would be on a using DNS RPZ. You can then either use a manual
operated zonefile, or you can implement a subscription like service (i.e.
authoritative DNS server could be a government agency, etc.) that sends
zonefile updates.

This is typically how blacklists are implemented in SE Asian countries
where the blacklisted domain (i.e. DNS resource record) can be answered
with NXDOMAIN or an A record of your choice (i.e. walled-garden).
