There are other possible reasons. Like "we don't like it".
I live in the country where the corruption index (calculated by Transparency International) is lowest in the world. Still, we have a "black list" of web sites that the police distributes to Internet access providers to block users from accessing the sites. The legal basis of this is supposed to be stopping child pornography, but still, the mechanism is used for blocking sites that criticize the police, and have no pornography at all. And there is no legal mechanism to challenge the police and stop them from doing this.
GDPR gives many additional tools for authorities to perform censorship like this.
