There have also been several reports suggesting that traffic to domains decreased after blockades were implemented. This seems logical since blocked sites should be harder to reach. However, new research [...] suggests that’s not always true.
Perhaps Streisand effect? "They're blocking it, so it's probably good. I can find stuff there."
The report doesn’t offer any hard conclusions, but MUSO informs TorrentFreak that if these traffic trends say anything about the success of site blocking, Russia and Korea are the most effective.
Perhaps availability? I've seen plenty pirate sites in Russian, even not actively looking for them; to the point that it made learning Cyrillic useful for me.
I don't trust those numbers given that my TV box is still working, my neighbour's TV box is still working, and nothing changed.
Anatel is a mafia LARPing as a very, very incompetent regulator.
