circumvention research · structured · LLM-callable
A field index of how the internet is jammed — and unjammed.
Every paper tagged against a shared taxonomy of censors, detection techniques, and defenses. An MCP server exposes the whole thing to any AI assistant.

§ 01 why this exists
A layer the field doesn't have yet.
The censorship-circumvention community has wonderful resources: net4people/bbs for discussion, gfw.report for original research, CensorBib as a maintained bibliography, OONI for measurement.
None of them are LLM-callable. None of them have a consistent structured-metadata schema. None of them let an AI assistant compose a corpus query with operational data in the same conversation.
This corpus adds that one missing layer.
§ 02 core papers
Hand-selected as load-bearing.
If a Lantern protocol designer hadn't read these, the team would expect them to be slowed down. Team consensus marks them as core: true; everyone using the corpus sees them surfaced first.
