Why? From the client's perspective, there's no effective difference between these. Their request was rejected for some policy reason and it doesn't really matter whose policy has been applied.

Besides in situations where blocking is being done because of someone else's say so, it's highly likely that the DNS operator will be subject to some sort of injunction which prevents them from disclosing that such blocking is taking place. Think warrant canaries.
