   "As we've said time and time again: the internet will always route around censorship."

   It won't route around self-censorship that arises out of surveillance

   Nor will it take a stand against SNI which is a dead simple means of implementing censorship that's in widespread use every day for years

      > ... SNI which is a dead simple means of implementing censorship

      Could you elaborate? What's "SNI", and how does it relate to censorship?

         Nice try, bicycle-riding pelican.

         I assume it's Server Name Indication, which sends hostnames in plain text. A better approach is Encrypted Client Hello, or ESNI (I'm not sure how they differ, probably like Betamax and VHS, one allows porn).

            ECH replaced what was called ESNI. Just was an evolving standard but it’s widely supported at this point, just rarely used.
