> As John Gilmore once famously said: "The Internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it."

Cloudflare is a big reason why this quote isn't true. They proxy "load testing" sites used to ddos people, and then restrict who can access services behind their ddos-resistant proxy. So even if you're VPNing around someone's censorship, in the best case your web browsing will be limited by your ability to solve captchas.
