中文版: 自2023年11月2日起，中国开发者在GitHub上删除或存档翻墙工具
A significant number of censorship circumvention tools maintained by Chinese developers have been either deleted or archived since Thursday, November 2, 2023 (Beijing Time). These tools have been used by millions of users in China and other heavily censored regions on a daily basis.
As summarized in the table below, this chain of incidents started with the developer @Fndroid deleted the repo Clash For Windows – a highly popular tool with thousands of stars and forks on Github – on Thursday, November 2, 2023 (Beijing Time). This incident was followed by further upheaval on November 3, 2023, as a series of other popular censorship circumvention tools developed by Chinese developers, were either completely deleted, archived, or stripped of all commits across their branches.
We encourage the anti-censorship community to come together for an open dialogue on these emerging incidents, to explore mitigation strategies, and to consider the long-term implications. This collective effort is crucial for developing a resilient response to these incidents.
