Yesterday we announced her its ban Twitter in Turkey. As was natural, the Turks were not happy with the government's move, sought alternative ways to circumvent government censorship.
So the service continued to be accessible via VPN or by changing DNS. Today the "democratic" government of Turkey also blocked Google's DNS.
According to local sources, Turkey has blocked Google's DNS across the country, closing a major backdoor to Turkish users who want to connect to the social network.
For the record, earlier this week, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan promised during a campaign rally that he would wipe out Twitter, no matter what the international community.
The country's authorities claim that the social network has ignored repeated government requests to remove links, despite version judicial decisions.
Of course, Turkish users will not stop connecting as there are still SMS or VPNs. There are alternatives to DNS again from Google and elsewhere.
Let's say, with the service OpenDNS at the following addresses:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Everything shows that Erdoğan and the people around him have not understood that the limitations have opposite effects. Even with a ban on the social network, the Turks continue to give present to the microblogging service. The local community has been furious and the international community condemns the incident. perhaps in this way the Turkish Prime Minister believes he can impose his opinion. An opinion that condemns free communication and makes it illegal.
