Some torrent sites have been ordered to be entirely blocked in some countries so they probably have to check for them to comply with local laws.
These blocks are usually the job of the ISP's in the country, mostly via DNS.
I don't think a simple "collection" of URLs would ever fall under any of that.
Normally, I would fully agree with you, but well, don't underestimate the stupidity of law makers: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/sign-our-petition-to-stop-france-from-forcing-browsers-like-mozillas-firefox-to-censor-websites/
France is always special! It's honestly sad that they constantly try to pull so many stupid things off.
