Twitter's Legal&Local Responsibilities

That is true, but Turkey may decide to block access to Twitter if it isn't in accordance with local laws, completely legally.

Hrm, thus far we have yet to see any nation provide a 100% effective filter on the internet, without creating thier own internal internet like north korea. I assume it's turkey's filter is just as ineffective?

Well, that would move us from a territory I know little about (law) to a territory I know absolutely nothing about (IT).

Well, the first day the ban was in effect, tweets from Turkey doubled in numbers. People got to learn Google DNS (which is also banned as of now) and VPNs to circumvent the measures. We love Twitter because we don't like to think much and 140 characters is more than enough to express our tiny minds, therefore our fun can not be prevented no matter what.
