#2How about the Google DNS ban? I think that ban has way more impact on net neutrality. Banning a website, even though it's blatantly bad, is common practice in a lot of countries. Blocking a DNS is basically forcing people to use specific 'approved' services.

#3Well, it took them a few hours to block the site after they found an excuse. Let's see how long it takes them to restore access after this decision. It's been 7 hours and counting.

#4Twitter blocked in just a few hours but not restored since morning. (it's 15:00 in Turkey)

#5Maybe they released the old saying, "If there's a will, there's a way."
People were going to bypass the blocks one way or another. Good to see the Turks are "restoring" this...whatever that means and however long it takes.

The Google DNS ban was lifted in 3 hours.

#7They are just trying to fabricate another reason. I don't think twitter ban will be lifted before local elections.
And according to twitter policy announcement [1], Turkish government asked Twitter to provide some credential information about some Turkish users. Nobody is talking about this in Turkey and government officials still defending their decision about their fabricated reason: impersonation and porn in twitter. It's already against Twitter's TOS, and I don't think it's true.

#8As a hard line atheist:
After the bloody history with kings who argued their position "came from God" and now islamist politicians in Turkey/Egypt, how about humanity get the message that "Being on a mission from God" is not necessarily a good thing outside of "Blues Brothers"?
Sorry for going OT, I am probably as fanatic on this subject as Erdogan himself. :-)
Edit: English grammar.
