Seems this is carrier infrastructure; it's unclear if this is directly under government control or (more likely) they were told to do this.

No real difference between this and e.g. court-ordered child porn or piracy site takedowns, though. We know govts order ISPs to block sites.

I mean, when I lived in Ireland thepiratebay was blocked by my ISP (at least via their primary domain/IP).

They were sued to do that, and only do blocking at the DNS level. (if you use their DNS servers) For me, it's a reminder to fix DNS settings on a new connection.

Nope, wasn't DNS. I wasn't using their DNS server. It was IP based.
