> most major domains outside of China are blocked
I don't think this is true; GFW works in a disallow-list fashion and domains have to be explicitly blocked (which is why people do keyword attacks[0]).

- cirosantilli 6y agoCertainly the block is manually controlled. But I believe that GitHub is not blocked yet just because it is not "major" enough because it is used almost exclusively only by programmers. If non-programmers started to use it more, I believe it will get banned.
