"Hey guys, let's eliminate censorship and citizen awareness by carrying out the biggest DDOS attack in the history of the internet against two projects we feel threatened by! People will abandon the projects and forget all about anti-censorship if we do that!"
My guess is these programs end up living somehow (surprise, surprise!) and if anything this will dig heels in for anti-censor proponents and conjure the Stresisand effect for these two programs in particular.
