Drop Tor users via bridges by over 2/3 in the beginning of March (was: Tor in China)

The corrected graphs can be found on the graphs page: http://metrics.torproject.org/bridge-users-graphs.html#china So my next question is, why did the users count drop that much in the beginning of March?

At the beginning of March, the great firewall of China blocked all (then) known tor exits and relays, and a substantial number of bridges - presumably enumerated over a prior, somewhat extended period.

This is our working theory as well. Pending research involves which set of bridges were blocked; website, email, twitter/qq account, or all of them. -- Andrew Lewman The Tor Project pgp 0x31B0974B Website: https://www.torproject.org/ Blog: https://blog.torproject.org/ Identi.ca: torproject *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

http://metrics.torproject.org/bridge-users-graphs.html#china if there is no clear explanation account for the doubling of the usage figure in the whole December, i would speculate that this is an error in the estimation. could anyone confirm this?
