Absolutely, the US is a major culprit, especially when it comes to collecting taxes!

Of course effective site-blocking is not terribly feasible. That's pretty much how the internet is designed. In theory, you could only allow connections from trusted hosts (white listing), but that defeats the purpose of being on the internet.
