According to Tor Metrics, the number of bridge users (mostly meek) in Brazil has settled down, after about 9 months of being (seemingly abnormally) elevated.
https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-bridge-combined.html?start=2016-06-01&end=2017-03-17&country=br Do you have any thoughts as to what could have caused it? Isabela, after speaking to some Brazilians, said that it didn't seem to be genuine users, but rather some automated system, perhaps malware. Vern Paxson suggested that perhaps Orbot updates were being blocked (causing clients to use a stale configuration? I admit I don't really understand this possibility). The recent drop in meek users on March 3 is no doubt a result of the deactivation of the former meek-azure CDN endpoint: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-project/2017-March/000981.html What it suggests to me, is that most of the meek users in Brazil were using meek-azure, and not meek-amazon.
