The term for this strategy is "collateral freedom": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateral_freedom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateral_freedom

  Thanks! I learned a very useful new concept. I wonder if there’s a collateral loss of freedom, too. For example when people from the west are against Google or Apple censoring stuff, we lose all of their services—because they either censor or get censored-resulting in a loss of freedom unrelated to political contents.

  And collateral freedom converges to no freedom. That wikipedia page used to have list of available working "domain fronting" list, and not it's all gone. People seems don't to remember Github was blocked several times in China before. Each time the developers united to file complaints to central government to get it unlocked. Still today all gist.github.com is blocked. http is blocked. God know when will github be totally blocked.

    That wikipedia page never had any domain fronting lists according to its edit history. It does and seemingly has always had a link to the Domain Fronting page in the "See also" section. Looking over the Domain Fronting page I also don't see any proof in the edit history that any list has been removed. Maybe you were confusing these two for a different page that still exists?
