 Not really tor related but since these were the bigest censorship
 circumvention tools in china i think its worth thinking bout what this
 means for tor.

 did tor get more traffic from china?
 are there alternatives forks spreading?
 what happened to the developers?
 how did they get caught?
 why were they so more popular than tor. was it only speed or is there
 sometinhg that could be useful for tor beyond what meek implemented?
 what are the reactions of people from china?
 even if that was in china could something similar happen to the tor
 project? there is clearly a change in attitude in the goverment and china
 could have indirect power over developers or hosters.
