Sure, you can set up what are effectively Twitter proxies, and sure, the censors won&#x27;t be able to keep up playing whack-a-mole.<p>But then the users have to do the same thing, preemptively finding such proxies and jumping between them.  I&#x27;d guess that that would be a good enough result from the government&#x27;s perspective.<p>And that&#x27;s just read-only stuff.  Post by email?  DPI could  drop packets containing emails addressed to Twitter, even if they&#x27;re being sent through a mail server in another country.  And, sure, you can proxy stuff, but again, the point here is <i>the masses</i>.  If 95% of people are blocked from access, that would probably prevent mass protests from happening; or at least keep them from happening quickly and unexpectedly.<p>But besides all that, when the government cuts off the country&#x27;s Internet access entirely, creating a nationwide intranet, none of those blog proxies are going to help.  The only thing that is going to truly work in such a situation is peer-to-peer stuff.
