> I wonder how they'll be implementing it, and how plausible it will be for other video sites to make themselves unblockable.

Yes, I'd like some information on this as well. Will it be possible to circumvent their block using encryption? The article says only the videos themselves will be blocked, not the websites.

It will almost certainly be possible for technical folks like us to bypass their filters but that will still exclude about 99% of their customers. That 99% will probably grudgingly pay the few dollars more and complain about phone companies screwing them again.

If they complain loud enough, it might be possible to get them to reverse their stance. From my POV, the problem is that only technical people are complaining, and no one else cares.

I'm guessing that people will respond the same way most people in China do to censorship - with relative apathy. They have better things to do than worry about whether the internet is censored or not.

Behind the scenes I bet it will be the same censorship technology as used in countries like China. The only difference is the way that the censorship is marketed, in the form of service plans.
