"Turkey is conducting its largest and most comprehensive fight ever against terror, while some lawmakers made statements giving support to terrorism before or after being elected, some gave de facto support and help and some lawmakers called for violence, which created great public disgust," the draft said.

This week’s episode of unwarranted internet censorship likely stems from a suicide bombing in Cizre, Turkey.

Eventually, Turkey’s Internet killswitch will be broken

An internet killswitch is always a bad idea. Some pundits around the world argue in favor of a government controlled internet killswitch. The world’s governments will always be able to find talking heads that will support their factually wrong view. Just look at the commentary surrounding the “golden key” to breaking strong encryption. Broken has so many meanings.

Meshnet technology is key to solving this problem. Imagine a world where the “main net” or “mainnet” has a regularly archived backup that is served by volunteers running nodes on your local meshnet? The future is coming, and there is no room for Internet censorship.

Starting Thursday, 11:07PM local time in Turkey, internet users started reporting that Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter had been blocked. Internet users in Turkey were forced to use a VPN to access their social media accounts. The government has started to tighten access to VPNs as well. Unfortunately, PayPal was denied a financial license renewal by the Turkish government and has withdrawn from Turkey. Bitcoin is now the best way for Turkish netizens to buy goods and services securely. The incident, the second attempt by Turkey to block access to Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter this month, reminds us that Turkey’s handful of Internet service providers (ISPs) work with the government to shut down access to parts of the Internet whenever it is deemed necessary. The ISPs then throttle traffic to and from target websites until they are unusable.

I dislike him, but he has more guts than Obama.

“Erdogan cited some historians, Turkish of course, who believe that the borders of the National Oath also included Cyprus, Aleppo [Syria], Mosul, Arbil and, Kirkuk [Iraq], in Batum [Georgia], Kardzhali, Varna [Bulgaria], Thessaloniki and the Aegean islands,” ANA stated.

However, later the ANA withdrew the original report and published a correction saying that Erdogan did not mention a “referendum in Thrace.” ANA said it was a mistake by its correspondent in Turkey, who had been fired after releasing incorrect information.

However, the agency claims that Erdogan really said that “the borders of Turkey included Cyprus, Aleppo, Mosul, Erbil, Kirkuk, Batumi, Thessaloniki and other areas.”
