it's due to the government trying to arrest and/or impress the main opposition. it's just arbitrary

Ironic that the only way to get a government to put the screws to billionaires and their shit platforms is to threaten the hegemony of the party that used the very same platforms to ratfuck their way to the top.

Even though it would be better for the world if everyone blocked that shit (maybe except YouTube, as it got its use cases), but they blocked it for all the wrong reasons.

They dont give a shit about well-being or standing up to big tech. They just want all ideas of an opposition to dissapear.

They are silencing free speech - at least that's the goal.

This is very easy to bypass and we the Turks are very good at anti-censorship practices after 25 years of AKP rule. The bigger problem is Meta/Google/X censoring content on government orders.

What a good opportunity for some mindfulness for the Turks. Maybe.

So there are 3 main ISP's in Turkey Türk Telekom, Vodafone and Turkcell. From my testings Vodafone(dsl) is fine but Turkcell(cellular) seems to block those sites. Most weird of all (at least in my case) Vodafone uses Türk Telekom's backbone and distrubiton but it doesn't get affected by these blocks

Is mastodon blocked as well?

I've restricted them in my home, as well. Is this a trend?

If only it was for the right reasons

Hm. I want a plan for when this reaches the US.

Think they'll block P2P stuff?

:(. Depressing

kinda jealous of turkey rn

Honestly those platforms need to burn and be destroyed. Nothing of value to be found outside the few people that actually give a fuck making YouTube videos.

Copiers and messengers are going to be useful again.

Access is restored tho: https://mastodon.social/@netblocks/115170319982458225
