That seems like an odd question. The paragraph is fairly clear: they
are allowing themselves to *snoop *on your internet traffic, and report
it to the government. It doesn't have anything to do with traffic
filtering.
I couldn't find anything in their terms and conditions
<
http://myt.orange.mu/pdf/my_account/conditions_generale.pdf> which
covers filtering, although they mention throttling "very heavy users" in
13.0.

You have to assume so.
The wording of the ITC Act
<
https://www.icta.mu/documents/laws/ictact.pdf> doesn't mention ISPs, so
I'd guess that Orange is not legally responsible for the filtering, even
if they technically do it.

Good luck with that.
I think the first rule of censorship is to keep the details of the
censorship hidden.
Cheers,
