Can somebody explain what MEEK actually is and how it compliments DeepOnion?
"Meek the protocol hides Tor-specific entries in data packets...
... (quote abbreviated)
...Basically it's a protocol to evade internet censorship, where the traffic is relayed through a third-party server that is hard to block and that's why it's very important for people in countries, where to usage of TOR is forbidden.

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/meekWe have read about this during the initial announcement of the incorporation of 'MEEK' into one of the DeepOnion wallet packages and I have often wondered if it would help or hinder traffic in countries that may not yet be censoring, so none of the Asian countries but one of the most western countries like the US?
I'm trusting my ISP less and less each day and in fact the government more so who has directed that companies like Twitter, Facebook, large telecommunications companies open their data to them, i.e. Google, Verizon, almost every big common email address providers, phone/cell providers... a few year's back it was AT&T; after it became publicly known that the government was 'spying' by having access to all of your email and other communications, numbers dialed/received.
Anything to protect privacy... I'm all for it!
