Why do you assume those who know how to bypass the block won't share it? Contrary to your expectations, people don't exist as isolated entities in vacuum.

You're assuming that even if the method of bypassing it is widely available everyone can figure it out or has access to help

Bypassing authoritarian control measures isn't mutually exclusive with social activism. Your entire premise was false to begin with.

Again, it can be exclusive. People who are able to bypass the restriction might not feel the need to fight it

Why do you feel the need to keep inventing false premises? You literally have no point here.

What is a false premise? You're saying that it's not possible a person who disagrees with this block won't fight to overturn it if he can find a work around?
