Here in Europe those types of websites can be accessed without issue. Only if they contain stuff like childporn or revengeporn are they actively banned.

And even if they were banned, you don't think the rest of the world wouldn't ban them as well?

It really isn't that subjective as you make it out to be.

Canada and the United States have banned or shut down torrenting sites, while Trinidad and Tobago imposes lengthy prison sentences for illicit media streaming.

I assume this is what they're referring to, although you didn't specify your country. Seems accurate to me.
