First of all - team@stackoverflow email goes straight to Jeff, and he replies to it personally. There's no secret team of people pretending to be Jeff to deal with customer service requests :-)
I personally believe that any company--or country--that thinks it's a good idea to filter web traffic deserves just about as much collateral damage as they get. If a company or country wants to cut its workers off from the knowledge they need to do their job, honestly, I would like to see that company or country get beaten to a pulp by the forces of evolution.
But... I feel for you. There are lots of websites that use our API to provide alternate views on Stack Overflow at other addresses, for example, http://sa.column80.com/?api=0 has a nice lynx-compatible browser.
