nahh we would rather use vpn. i have been using vpn for github ever since they have blocked raw github user content.
So... What's the purpose of the ban then?
Is this but just totally stupid and implemented completely useless, because people in power can't grasp what they are deciding on?
That is why IP/DNS blocks should only be deployed to protect the end-user. Never to enforce some kind of law...
And let people disable it if they don't want to be protected/babied.
Well... yes
