 We already do this.] Closing.
 https://bridges.torproject.org/options doesnt tell anything about it.
 if it selects bridges secretly depending on language or ip then thats a
 bad thing. there are hundreds of circumstances where the country the user
 wants to use tor is not the same as the one determined by a database
 lookup based on a website he visits.
 if its only in the backend then it should be implemented in the
 distributors.

 > Also, no. Specifying whether or not a distributed bridge should be
 unblocked in some particular countr{y,ies} has nothing to do with using
 domain fronting to communicate with BridgeDB.
 from #16650
 >...helping them get the right kind of bridges, helping clients determine
 which kind of bridge is the right kind, ...
 i thought with right kind of bridges you meant those that work in a
 specific country
 >...and helping BridgeDB know more about which (types of) bridges are
 blocked (in specific regions, possibly)...
 i also assumed that part of the reason you want to know about this would
 be to supply the right bridges to the right people

 btw i only wanted to mention this to inb4 duplicate
