Could even use it as a benchmark for software to hide from authorities. One thing to remember is that "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." applies regardless of how agreeable the censorship is.
- bostik 7y agoThe US regulators are painfully aware of device rooting and how it allows to subvert any client-side security measures. Disclosure: I have been dealing with certain state regulators and their morbid fear of forged geo-location data for a number of months. It would be inane to assume other regulators would be any less informed about the threat vector.
