This could develop further. Reminds me of TOM Skype: Chinese users are redirected from skype.com to the chinese-characteristics website skype.tom.com which serves a censorship-enabled version of skype, see https://en.greatfire.org/blog/2013/nov/tom-skype-dead-long-l...


Well this is a collaboration b/t Skype and TOM.com. Skype has to do it b/c they don't have license to operate in China. My skype account was registered in China and I have to prove I'm not in China anymore to remove the association..


Skype chooses to do it. They could also simply choose not to cooperate, and be blocked.
