How Censorship "Works"

[poliphilo]

So the attack on LJ- and Facebook, Twitter, Blogger and YouTube-  turns out to have been an attempt to silence one man- the Georgian nationalist Cyxymu, who now- thanks to this smart move by his enemies- is famous not only in his own region, but across the entire world.

I predict that this action will be called the "Georgian" attack, and will become common soon. It's the same action that overwhelms email accounts, I think, and isn't that hard (if you have some computer skill) to do. I'm pretty sure there are young hackers sitting around their new laptops right now trying to figure out how to crash websites instead of doing their homework.

All the same, LJ managed to ride out the storm. I was aware of some choppy weather for a while, but the site never went down.
