I disagree. I’ve recommended ProtonMail to many novice users and helped them get setup. It is so simple that I suspect many less technical users are using it in countries with oppressive regimes.

Aren't you actually agreeing?

He's saying they'll use tunneling to get around the block so they can carry on using it.

No, he's saying that some (possibly many) users know how to use the service, but not VPNs or TOR. Therefore, they are easily blocked, compared to advanced users.

Oh OK, they were disagreeing with the last part, not the main point. They both at least agree it shouldn't be blocked...

First time I agree with somebody in internet without saying the same things

It’s easy to bypass the block, even for non savvy users. They just need some help.
