My understanding is that blocking/redirection is to be done at the DNS level. In which case, there *is* a "?banner" hack of sorts - get the IP by some other means. Which is not to say we should be significantly less concerned. On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 10:17 AM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

Just add ?banner=none to the url if you really have to read the page

Maybe the intention was to demonstrate that censorship (in this case self-censorship) is mostly a problem for average users but not for advanced users.

There isn't going to be a disable-javascript or ?banner hack when anyone anywhere can force a website to be redirected to some DOJ page without providing any proof.  (Yes, really.)
