Both, the former is a logical next step over existant regulation, because what was required by it from the regulator (RKN) could not be done without the new tools (DPI etc).

As many other countries we have "save the children" laws which enforce censorship, for example of cartoon pornography depicting minors. Previously websites that were detected to have such banned content would be just added to the IP blacklist, but in a number cases this did not work (ie with telegram).
