Quote :
"The Internet has become so economically important that few countries can afford to cut off access altogether. Instead, repressive regimes allow 'Net access, but try to block individual websites they don't want their populations to see. Some users, aided by allies in the West, use circumvention technologies like Web proxies or TOR to access forbidden information. This has led to a long-running cat-and-mouse game in which censorship opponents establish new proxies while censors race to identify and block them."

Explain what exactly? What they're trying to do, Why they're trying to do it, or why it will fail?

What do you mean? It's like they shut down the direct route, but you can still take alternate and less direct routes to get where you want to go.

It's like, if they shut down I-40, you can still get to California.
