Not quite. Even if copyright didn’t exist, they still would block porn etc. I even encountered a Wi-Fi network where YouTube videos worked except those with content warnings (such as mentions of self-harm). I wonder how that can be done despite HTTPS - maybe the questionable videos have a different domain? I should have investigated the issue more but NewPipe made it seem like the video had been taken down so I just assumed that was the case. (It was at a train station in southern Bavaria, most likely Wangen im Allgäu. I was there only once.)
Yep, should be a different domain. NextDNS can also enforce SafeSearch:
Filter explicit results on all major search engines, including images and videos. This will also block access to search engines not supporting this feature.
Another super pointless thing in our life that is only this bad because of IP laws and the multimedia industry.

Modern firewalls are man-in-the-middle attacks.
Captive portals are effectively MitM but that’s why they only work on HTTP (notice the crossed-out lock icon).
