Their government isn't merley "snooping" on it's citizens due to a week chain of trust architecture and a lack of ethical clarity... it's requiring by law that it's citizens be snooped on and censored. In such a regime, a technological arms race is not going to change the legality of subverting their measures, and cannot help the masses without simultaneously jeopardising their safety.

History contradicts you. There are examples from communist block where technological solutions that bypassed government restrictions helped to spread banned information.

I did not say it cannot help, I said it cannot change the legality of subverting the government, and so cannot subvert the government without simultaneously jeopardising citizens safety.
