yes... indeed... twitter is blocked in turkey
luckily, they aren't blocking VPNs :)
I often wonder - Do they believe their ban is 100% effective? Or do they understant that the truly motivated will find a way to get out, and they're just doing a "best effort" to block the majority of traffic.
yeah, just blocking stupid people
*understand
just blocking stupid people
they know perfectly well it's just blocking stupid people
the amusing thing is that turkey wants to join the EU
and this whole incident pretty much drops them down a peg on the waitlist
Heh
I fear that People In Charge really believe that it's effective.
it probably is at least mildly effective
not that i think blocking is good :)
Yeah it's partly effective, for those that don't know how to sidestep it.
And I'm certainly not advocating blockage
Just annoyed by bureaucrats that think "yes, this will block everything bad, 100%, and everything will be fixed."
I think they are going with a 'survival of the fittest' mindset.  twitter is full of idiots.  turkey is doing what they can to block the idiots.   even the mildly non-idiotic will google "how to access twitter from turkey"
China intercepts queries made to Root Name Servers
and returns false results
How are things progressing with the Level3 transit here at ARP Networks?
I wonder if folks in Turkey have figured out how to run their own recursive DNS using BIND or other DNS Software
