They do provide a map download, so that could be mirrored, I suppose. Then you can view everything offline.

  Right, but why not have a zip of .txt/.pdf/.html files? Feels like that might be easier to view and smaller to download.

    Censorship is like whack-a-mole. The format won't prevent you from getting beaten with a pipe when the cops find out, but it can still help to distribute information through a variety of forms. There's an old resistance method of communication called 'samizdat', where information is duplicated and passed on by loose networks of unaffiliated individuals. Wikipedia has a good quote about it: "Samizdat: I write it myself, edit it myself, censor it myself, publish it myself, distribute it myself, and spend time in prison for it myself" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samizdat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samizdat Of course, the understanding that you might be imprisoned is a big part of civil disobedience. You have to hope that the capricious and unreasonable nature of the authority or rule that you are protesting causes your community and society to demand change.
