I suppose statistically speaking you might be right, though I find it hard to imagine what kind of person is going to risk beatings or years in prison or worse over a minor inconvenience like being unable to view their favourite website.

I think depending on the person this could go either way. Perhaps they feel spurned, isolated, or blamed personally, and respond with anger.

if only one site is using it yes that's nothing

if dozens of websites do the same that might push people to protest

internet is a huge part of our lives, most people use it for hours everyday, it can be more than a minor inconvenience
