As a free speech absolutist, I'm always a little optimistic when I see this sort of thing happen, because it always has the opposite effect than its intent: the censors expect that the things they don't like to disappear completely as if they had never existed, but what ends up happening is that censorship drives further decentralization, which is even harder to censor. This event exposed another single point of failure - its up to the infrastructure to fix that.
