This blog is not to justify the BANS. It's to bring into light what these people's do inside these countries.
Take Turkey for example. Wikipedia is banned but the people found a way around it. They use a website that is an IDENTICAL copy of WIKIPEDIA with a different name that for some reason is NOT BANNED.
In Zimbabwe, the govt. banned people from working as Taxis so an informal taxi system popped up where people drove each other around, WITHOUT USING TAXI.
And when Turkey banned UBER people still drove each other around.
In IRAN and CHINA, people use fake private networks(VPN) just to connect to the internet and use Facebook.

No matter what the governments around the world try to do, It's amazing how people always find ways around it.
There is only one thing people in power must understand, it's that information online or offline should always be accessible by EVERYONE. And ANYONE who tries to limit that is DOOMED TO FAIL
