Having lived in a country with similar (and fluctuating) internet restrictions, it's always interesting to see how small design decisions like that can have such significant ramifications on so many people.

I remember one SaaS product we wanted to use at our company had one major js file that had the word "proxy" in the title. The product had nothing to do with circumvention or anything but the national internet filters picked up that word and blocked it completely. Thus, we couldn't use that service at all.

Although I hate that I can't block YouTube on our metered connections with a URL whitelist as Google logins require calls to accounts.youtube.com.
