MODERATORS
Would peer to peer apps be resistant to this sort of thing?
Yes, but you'll have to install them from sources other than what governments deem official. Like F-droid.
Now, if they block p2p traffic that's a different story
I am totally cool with F-droid.
It depends. Somehow it has to discover the peers. Other than that, they could block traffic between residential IP addresses and there goes large part of the P2P network
