You're trying to solve the wrong problem. Since you have a legal
requirement that would be violated by sending stuff to a bad place, you
should only send it to a known good place.
Therefore, instead of trying to identify the bad places to block them, you
should be trying to identify the good places that should be allowed
access. If someone from a good place can't get in, then give them a web
page to register a complaint and check it out manually if you think it is
worth your while.
