Interestingly, Geedge is developing the rules of censorship for and with the client governments. A list found inside the leak contains 281 applications to be blocked. Among them are VPNs, Tor/Orbot, the tool Psiphon, and – depending on the country – also messengers like Signal and Whatsapp.

Previous research by the GFW Report already indicated the existence of provincial firewalls across China with different levels of surveillance and censorship. The Geedge leak confirms that. Xinjiang, the home of 11 million Uyghurs, seems to serve as a testing ground for Geedge's new features.

We are glad to see that our research on the #GreatFirewallExport has raised a lot of interest, and has been covered by international media and on various social media platforms, including in the countries affected, such as Myanmar, Kazakhstan, and in the Chinese (diaspora) media! Some examples:
