Banning abortion information is not the same thing as banning a harassment network that’s causing deaths.

This sentence alone shows how short-sighted your point is.

"Abortion is the killing of fetuses. Providing women with access to information about abortion will lead to more deaths in just one year than Kiwifarms has brought about in its entire existence. ISPs have shown that they are able to block such sites. Given the higher level of harm abortion sites pose as compared to Kiwifarms, the Texas Court of Appeals moves that ISPs have to block all access to abortion information."

You don't have to agree with the paragraph above (I certainly don't), but that's exactly the point - if it can be used to block things you want blocked, there will be a way to justify blocking things you do NOT want blocked.
