- kumarharsh 12y agoThere is a way to get around it. Use the OpenDNS IPs: 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 for your DNS. Look here at how to configure your computer for the new DNS: https://support.opendns.com/forums/21618384 https://support.opendns.com/forums/21618384
- higherpurpose 12y agoIt seems that after a government deploys mass surveillance, mass censorship comes "natural" after that, probably because they start finding out what their citizens are really doing, and they don't like it. So they want to "fix it" by controlling what they can watch or do. They just can't help themselves. We need more decentralized surveillance and censorship-resistant systems. It seems to be the only way to stop this. "Democracies" don't seem enough to stop this at the political level these days. It's just too easy for the governments or parliaments to pass orders or laws such as these, and it's much harder to mass mobilize against each one of them.
