Because Etisashat are useless and they block loads of stuff just for the heck of it. You can get sites unblocked by telling them there is no reason to block it and they will have a look and make a decision.

Don't even bother doing that.
You will only get frustrated like I did after asking them 3-4 times to unblock a webiste dedicated to selling raffle tickets to fund the handicapped before they actually realised that it might be a good idea if they unblobked it.

Just get a VPN and then you won't have to worry about it ever again.

Every time I've asked, they've unblocked the site. Except for google translate (when you enter a URL), and www.archive.org
