Blocking for that purpose usually means redirecting in practive. You'll redirect to a page that explains why the original site is not available.
It has practical consequences for the user: in France, DNS lies in ISP's resolvers for "terrorist" sites redirect you to a Web site of the police, which will get your source IP address and the site you wanted (thanks to the Host: HTTP field). Clear blocking (DNS lie returning localhost or NXDOMAIN) is a bit better for privacy. (But less transparent about the censorship.)
