Let&#x27;s say they implement this. What are some ways around it? You could uninstall Facebook and say you don&#x27;t have an account. You could sign out of your Google account (Android). I wonder if there is a way to programmatically back up your contacts, remove everything, the reimport them.<p>I happen to be a US cit, but if I wasn&#x27;t, I would just factory reset my phone before entry. Periodic factory resets seem to be a good idea anyway.

Is there an official blacklist of disapproved websites? If so, isn&#x27;t that a form of censorship?
