#2This is difficult to read. The author confuses nouns and proper nouns and isn't clear about who it is they're referring to (who are the neo-liberals, for instance?).
I understand that not everyone is as good at writing as others, but it really doesn't take much effort to ask someone to proofread.
Otherwise, this is a good start, even though it lacks details and examples.

#3Somebody should post this to Google contacts. They just had this claims about security and working for the ppl with the Hacking Google series on yt.

#4Pretty crazy that a country can just completely block all internet outside of what they want to be accessible...
One app that came to my mind reading this is Briar [1] - no real internet required, can connect to other briar participants via bluetooth and WiFi. Sadly only for Android...

Google knows already. They just don't care.

It's not crazy, internet is like public roads, they can decide to close them anytime they want.

Conceptually, it was interesting. I can forgive it for lacking details, as a "preliminary report", too.
But the whole, "neo-liberal arses" bit gave it the sense of an unhinged author or untrustworthy narrator.

#9FWIW here [1] is an option that should still work. I would be curious to hear from people in Iran if this no longer works and they are blocking SSH to VPS nodes.

#10I almost stopped reading at "neo-liberal", man that term is getting boring, especially when used in non-sequitur fashion like "The most severe disruption is when the regime turns off all cell towers and all local Internet. They just pull the plug and it's game over for any neo-liberal smart-arse that thinks v2ray/tor/shadowsocks is the solution". WTF does that even mean? What does the author think it means?
