Easy, they can set guidelines and block in the country sites that do not follow these guidelines.
I wonder how one would find an exhaustive list of porn sites. Using a blacklist seems like a hard problem because of discovery here.
Obviously, no censorship measure can reach all cases, especially when it comes to pornography, you can find it in every corner of the internet. But it can cover most cases if it targets the most popular sites. For example, there is a lot of child pornography on the surface web, despite it being banned in most countries, but the ban makes access difficult and guarantees punishment in any case that the law takes notice of. It is not a definitive strategy, as it aims at the effect and not the cause, but it is something.
