Orchid: a new surveillance-free layer on top of the existing Internet
&gt; we believe will force anyone trying to block our traffic to end up blocking large areas of the internet--such as every server being hosted on Amazon Web Services--which would cause a serious problem for Chinese business people, deeply affecting commerce, as well as quality of life for the average Chinese citizen.<p>Not really. China has several replacement solutions for AWS. Ali Cloud, Baidu Cloud, etc.<p>It would just mean blocking a few more websites hosted on AWS and used by Chinese people, GitHub maybe? Then again, it is easy to build a GitHub clone within China with the decentralized (irony much?) git protocol.
