So, Estonia should be able to block anyone in the world that says anything about Estonia with low sentiment, for example?

If they so wish, Estonia is a sovereign country, they can block any company they want; they just need to pass a law to say so (provided of course it doesn't conflict with other laws they have).
No, Estonia in this example requires people in the USA to not talk about Estonia negatively amongst themselves.
They cannot forbid it. But they can rhetorically pass a law asking any website to moderate these talks. And block these site on its territory if it doesn’t comply.
Practically, this would never happen, Estonia is too small of an actor.
But if the EU decided to pass a law in this sense (would not happen, too many people implicated in an EU law writing), this would have more weight.
Yep. Just as Musk's buddies Xi and Putin block twitter. So can Estonia.
You are completely missing the point. Putin and Xi cannot block Twitter in America. They cannot prevent two Americans living in the US from talking to each other negatively about Russia.
