That is the whole point: make it so they have to block vast swatches of the useful internet in order to defeat it. Ideally, we should be able to make it so they have to block the entire internet to censor anything.

There must be some kind of limit to the amount of tyranny they're able to muster, right? Eventually the collateral damage will be too great and they'll give up on trying to censor anything. Alternatively, they will become such tyrannical societies that people won't accept it.
