Thankfully, most of these censorship systems are trivial to beat but this still leaves a certain subset of the population unable to search comfortably and safely in cyber cafes and other public access points.

Proportionate responses to cyber attacks can be unclear, and often affect the broader population rather than just the leadership of the originating country.
