Yeah this is actually quite nefarious, as it is a private organization that decides what sites get blocked, with no legal oversight.

Its a DNS based block, so overriding your default DNS server is enough to circumvent it. I think Dns over Https also works.

Pretty sure this was a thing in the past, but that currently it has to be a court order.

The wikipedia article seems to concur with you, although this seems to be a voluntary policy by CUII, the members could still decide to not wait for any court orders and block whatever they want.

It's not voluntary anymore, it's required.
