Comment (by mwolfe):
I go by empirical evidence. Official announcements are intended to look
good. They started blocking Skype, and that may have blocked Tor. I have
no idea how they are blocking Skype now. Before, they blocked access to
skype.com, so no one here could download the program without Tor or a VPN.
Those who could go somewhere that skype.com was not blocked could bring
back a copy that worked. Now skype.com is not blocked, so anyone can
download Skype, but it doesn't work.
Tor was working fine on 31 Dec and needed a bridge on 1 Jan, so one
deduces that they started blocking it, with or without an announcement.
It's also hard to know what they would have called the rule. It must not
be named 'Tor', but some other name. I have no idea what they might call
it, and I couldn't find it, either.
