Thinking about it a bit more, I feel slightly optimistic that the next
year's protocols will as a side effect of their technical merit be
harder to censor.  Consider even the simple example of Chunked HTTP or
MUX, and how much harder they are to scan -- and they're just the
beginning of the new system.

In the meantime,
