What protocol is it that routes around censorship, exactly?
What is the software that automatically prevents a server from being unplugged by a co-location facility? What about TCP/IP prevents a blogger from being beaten unconscious in front of his children, then taken away by plainclothes 'police'?
(I sometimes think that only a totalitarian government's propaganda minister would keep repeating this trope about routing around in the age of China's firewalls, etc.)
- wladimir 15y agoWhat protocol is it that routes around censorship, exactly? The "global" part. There is always some country in which a certain thing is not censored. The servers can be placed there, the traffic can be routed through there. This does not prevent anyone from beating anyone else up, that's right, but I don't think anyone ever claimed that the internet would prevent physical violence. Just censorship of information.
