But... to access any particular URL, don't you first need to resolve the domain? What good does it do if I type/click www.4chan.org/b/ if I can't figure out where www.4chan.org is in the first place?

You can't really ask more than this. Politicians are normies. Even their tech advisors aren't gonna be actually competent in any particular tech field. I'd wager you know more about how the internet works then all their tech advisors put together.
Yeah, the language they use isn't correct. But from their point of view, even if they knew any better, this is what 99% of the people they deal with understand by URL, so that makes it the correct wording to use for their law.

They're not interested in using this to block one Twitter account but not another. They're interested in blocking the entire Gab, or Parlour or whatever they deem "fake news" website at the time.
