Hello 3rd World, Any Seats Free ?

[Sarmatian]

It's been 2 days since Constitutional Court -highest level of jurisdiction- reached the verdict that banning of Twitter is an "obstruction of civil rights", the verdict's even been published in Official Journal, however the Presidency of Telecommunication (TİB - responsible for the actions on websites) is yet to do anything about it.

And now it becomes illegal, re: our conversation in another thread.

It's really sad how one idiot can undermine the struggle for a modern state that started almost a 100 years ago. My condolences.

Twitter ban lifted as of yesterday, however tech-savvy users who happened to ping Twitter and Google at the same time found out that it takes ten times as much than getting to Google. Following some DOS commands to see what the requests are going through, they've also discovered that our DNSs are being hijacked, Twitter requests visit a certain Turkish "checkpoint" and another in Frankfurt then reaches Twitter servers. It is hard not to think that records of Twitter users are being recorded that way.

I've seen some in Swedish media. Basically, the election is counted as "fair enough" as in the reported cheating doesn't majorly change the results. A lot of worries for the oppression/suppression and polarisation.

Erdogan's support is reported to be mostly poor people who have gotten it economically better and who aren't that supporting of the urban secular middle class (read religious, rural underclass are Erdogan's supporters).
