With ssl the best they can do is this host level blocking unless they perform mitm attacks.
> unless they perform mitm attacks Which any state-sponsored actor can easily do, of course.
I mean in addition to the economic impact from loss of productivity there is the loss of time by everyone trying to troubleshoot what they may think is "their technical problem" which is in fact an issue intentionally created at the state level.

The real solution off course is to rid your country of the embarrisment of Erdogan. Vote. If thats still legal coming next election.
I think we are not that close to having theatre elections. I hate admitting it but democracy works pretty well in Turkey. There are just too many uneducated people here that are influenced by power and religious-themed party platforms. I'm not sure if I'm being elitist but a good democracy requires good, educated people. The ruling party is systematically fucking the education system here, creating more religious sch…
There are more than a handful of bigoted statements that have come from Erdogan:
Some examples:

"On 5 August 2014, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in a televised interview on NTV news network, remarked that being Armenian is "uglier" even than being Georgian, saying "You wouldn't believe the things they have said about me. They have said I am Georgian...they have said even uglier things - they have called me Armenian, but I am Turkish"
This is so annoying for us. I'm not using Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive but GitHub is the tool we use the most as a software agency. We've set-up a VPN server for our team for the moment. Only good thing coming from this is that I've discovered a software called Pritunl today which made setting up the VPN pretty easy.

Besides, those leaks are really BS by the way. Those so called Redhack hackers are as idiot as the people who shuts down whole sites for nothing.

Majoritarianism should not be confused with democracy.

Context is this, some people in Turkey loves to attack people/politicians for their ethnicity. And I guess some people called him Georgian or Armenian descendant. However, some said it as "Ermeni dölü" - a little hard to translate - "from Armenian seed (or semen)". During his speech he says exactly this: "They called me Georgian. They called me, excuse me, in a very ugly way, Armenian". This is a typical conservative way of talking. He refrained himself using the term "döl-semen" and terms "excuse me" and "very ugly way" was for that word, not for "Armenian".
Of course, to me correct way of talking about this issue could be "they call me this and that.. who cares!"
It seems like the turkish government is trying to create jobs here. Building a "nationalised turkish twitter alternative"? The way things are right now, they need a nationalized turkish github service first.

Well, No. This is the culture here. Youtube was closed for years because of Ataturk related videos. One goes another comes. Besides, those leaks are really BS by the way. Those so called Redhack hackers are as idiot as the people who shuts down whole sites for nothing.
I wish we still had good investigative reports who'll read those e-mails and summarize it for us.

Legally, yes, YouTube was banned because of those videos. But they stopped the ban after Google started paying taxes here, which IMHO is worse. I wish we still had good investigative reports who'll read those e-mails and summarize it for us.

For what it is worth, that quote was totally misunderstood and turned into a smear campaign. Context is this, some people in Turkey loves to attack people/politicians for their ethnicity.

And this is not the only one. I have provided exampled of at least two others.
