It's more the "why" I'm looking for than the "how" at this point. If anyone
is blackholing the site for operational reasons I figured that they would
pipe up here.

There was a suggestion that if it was a government demand, it might be
through a similar process to this story:
https://www.computerworld.com.au/article/457042/asic_blocks_global_capital_wealth_websites_/

Does ASIC use a legal process to require ISPs to block certain domains, or
is this part of the voluntary blacklist?

I mailed Robert Tozer earlier today, but haven't had a reply yet.
