And why? So that they then leak information, why everyone climbs where they don't need to, do not interfere with their lives, they themselves will sort out about their Internet, what kind of mania to climb everywhere, they will have to install it themselves if they need it... 🤬
Wtf are you talking about, nobody is climbing anywhere. By running snowflake, you are offering a piece of infrastructure that other people can use, it's not specific to the Iran. They can't install it themselves if the local internet is censored, that's the whole point of this.
Let the Iranians, many of whom live outside their country, do it, after all, if I think so, it is necessary for their people! Once again, do not meddle where you do not need to! THEY'LL FIGURE IT OUT WITHOUT YOU!!
P.S. And yes, I know the technical side, but here the moment is more political.
offering a not blacklisted IP is not meddling. you are wrong also about that this is "for their people". you sound an awfull lot like a facist.
