tl;dr: They were unwitting accomplices. The propaganda from well known Iranian government outlets was being shared frequently enough, with very little other content, that they were unwittingly part of the machine itself.

This was exactly my experience with MapR. They refused to sell you the products you actually wanted. My first response to this news was "good riddance", my second thought was "I hope they open source the storage stuff."

Did you get permission from OpenDNS and Icanhazip? If not, you are effectively launching a distributed attack against them with worthless traffic. If you don't understand what I mean - just pull the project and do some more research be

Unless SpaceX has implemented high speed frequency hopping (which would 10x the cost of end user devices), they can easily be jammed. It isn't hard to overpower a single from space with a ground based transmitter.
