It certainly looks like it is compiled by a neural net or human that has no idea how people they talk about actually live. Places of actual discussion of censorship circumvention tools are full of much different talk on how to fool the external or internal DPI servers, on tunnelling through white-listed protocols, and so on.

Also, those who can be executed like that have already realised that “safe” way of being a “good citizen” does not exist, it's a phantom for people who are — at the moment — rich, happy and walled from the rest (either physically or in their minds). They probably don't need to be told not to trust someone who is offering to solve all their problems.

There is that iranian bot army we hear about: "dont write down knowledge or else someone somewhere will be executed!"

for what? nobody should follow anything blindly and im sure people in iran are more aware of this and they know how to take security precautions.

> for what?

? A totalitarian regime doesn't need much motivation to have people killed, to the point where even having knowledge or reading the wrong thing will have you put on a list.
