Ask HN: Is propagation of BGP hijacks unavoidable?

This tells that Iraq blocks Telegram and that the BGP hijacks got propagation but damage was limited by the use of RPKI. https://ift.tt/3IJxf5a Now I wonder if the propagation of BGP hijacks is absolutely unavoidable? I realized, if a nation-state wants to hijack BGP they would need to disable RPKI inside the nation-state or find a different way to let the hijacked BGP rules apply. If they just disable RPKI then they would be vulnerable to other hijacks. Let's say a different nation-state blocks Twitter then Twitter would get blocked in Iraq too. This is an ironic twist: censors get censored themselves, too. (If I understood this correctly). Right?
