For the record, Burma/Myanmar (MM) has very little cybercensorship now (the
previous censorship started loosening up in about August 2011 and was
basically—not entirely, but mostly—dropped by the end of October 2011).
I’ve been visiting MM since the mid-aughts and have never
encountered FidoNet there. Haven’t seen it since Africa, mid-nineties. But that
doesn’t mean it wasn’t/isn’t there.
(Vietnam still has a measurable amount of online censorship, but it’s not
nearly as heavy-handed as China’s or Iran’s. It’s more like Ethiopia’s.
Some of Cambodia’s ~30 ISPs censor a half-dozen sites, but that’s hardly
serious (the largest, Vietnamese-controlled, ISP doesn’t!).)
Best,
Eric

I should add that I've heard FIDONET is still used in some highly censored SE
Asia countries for this purpose (Myanmar IIRC) - laptops on the back of dirt
bikes come to villages once a week...
