Turkey is in a race with China on Censoring the net
On May 5th, Youtube is censored again in Turkey. Apart from this, after opendns had a great failure on resolving google.com and some other subdomains on google, I changed my settings back to normal, that is having an automatic dns which is not opendns. Then I saw the grim reality of censor in Turkey.
I realized that there are many, many web sites that are censored via court order. One of them is Geocities.com. Another one is CNN.com’s technology section.
I am really upset. Turkey always tried to become a european country in the last 200 years but hey, we are getting farther from that, not closer.
