Twitter blocked in Turkey
Twitter says that it's looking into reports that its service has been blocked in Turkey since midnight (about 2.5 hours before you will see this post). From what I see in my feed, the story is true, but the block isn't very effective.The Internet company published a message on its service on Thursday advising users in Turkey that it was possible to send Tweets using mobile phone text messaging.Or as Claire Berlinski - whom I follow on Twitter - puts it:
Unsurprised to see how many people in TR are Tweeting anyway. Turks are good at working around all the dumb shit the state throws at them.

Or the state is just plain incompetent. Labels: freedom of speech, Turkey, Twitter
