Instead, users see a message saying the sites have been blocked because of anti-child-pornography laws.
Although this is likely done out of incompetence rather than malice, this is how they erode freedom. They pick one thing that the large majority of people are generally against, find one instance of it on a public website, and use that to justify censorship of the entire platform. This happened with reddit in Russia, and it almost became widespread with SOPA/PIPA in the US.Edit: reddit is unblocked in Russia but it was blocked for a time: https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/3grpdf/tifu_by_gettin...
If I had to make a list, I couldn't do much better.
Is reddit really blocked in Russia? It seems there are many Russian posters there, particularly in t_d...
Just as you said - they come after the 'disgusting' things first. However I think that it should be a serious consideration as to whether a government is going to toe the line to make illegal drawings.
Edit: Apparently some evicence of these claims might be in order:

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people," former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman told Harper's writer Dan Baum for the April cover story published Tuesday.
"You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities," Ehrlichman said. "We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

There are only two logical questions to this whole affair: which groups are next, and when it all stops, who will be left?
