Why was it flagged? What the fuck? Mods this is not okay. Don't abuse your power flagging posts about maps of protests. This is not okay.

Quick question but would tor work in this case? Is this the first country which genuinely effectively is able to ban tor? Because even in China, tor can work through bridges or some other methods and even Chinese firewalls aren't so ex

marcosdumay's comment of here explained situation (giving it more attention) they can censor IPv4 when they want, but they don't know how to censor IPv6. So they block it entirely. This is the reason why they aren't blacking
