Okay. Let's make it more concrete. Imagine theres a bus full of people and you want to invite them to a protest, discreetly.
Before state: some of them have airdrop set to open always and you can just airdrop to them. Move on to the next bus.
New state: some of them may have had airdrop set to open always, but it timed out. You cannot airdrop it to them. Protest quashed.
I'm still telling the same story but perhaps this makes the mechanism more obvious to you. The fact that you genuinely don't seem to see the censorship shows how effective this strategy is.
- baxtr 4y agoThanks for getting back. That explanation makes more sense now. I can see how this limit would make free data exchange much more difficult. I am still not convinced that by this protests are “quashed”. We’ll see about that I guess.
- hindsightbias 4y agoSo presuming airdrops are logged, a trivial mechanism for implicating a lot of people in a crime against the state is now more complicated.
- blamazon 4y agoYou're saying the recipients of anti-CCP information would be implicated? I don't love this take because I think it's the other way around - it's removing common plausible deniability of "oh, that image? Some hoodlum airdropped that to me without my consent."
