Blocks in the Tor Network: The Definition of Censorship. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has reportedly tried to cut off all voices on the internet after the "abolition" of the Christmas lesson.
The Turkish authorities are implementing new measures to restrict freedom of speech and the media.
Watchdog group Turkey Blocks reports that the anonymous Tor Network (Tor Network) has now been blocked, following similar tactics last month aimed at blocking access to VPN services and some Social Networks across the country.
Unlike previous cases of censorship that took place after specific events, this particular move by the Erdogan government appears to be aimed at blocking the free Internet for finding unbiased news for no reason other than perhaps the government's desperate efforts to stay in power.

The social networks and Facebook, Twitter, the WhatsApp service and the YouTube have been blocked since last month.
Τον Οκτώβριο αποκλείστηκε η πρόσβαση στο Google Drive, dropbox, ΟneDrive και GitHub για να αποκοπεί η πρόσβαση σε email του Υπουργού Ενέργειας και Φυσικών Πόρων Berat Albayrak, (γαμπρός του Προέδρου Erdogan) που διέρρευσαν στο διαδίκτυο.
Correspondence is believed to expose Erdogan.
