Questionable Web Censorship Law Turkey -


The Turkish Internet censorship program blasted again November 13 banning and Reddit blocking Turkish citizens to access the site. No official reason was given for the ban of the site, but many have speculated that it was the result of the Authority of Turkey Telecom. This entity has the power to ban websites in the Internet censorship Law No. 5651 since 07. They can block any site deemed illegal or dangerous if it contains pirated material, pornography or terrorist activities.

The Telecom Authority of Turkey has finally managed to speak and confirm the block in their statement: "After technical analysis and legal scrutiny law Nr 5651, ADMINISTRATION measure. taken from this website (reddit.com) in accordance with the decision Nr. 40.05.01.2015.-252804 dated 11.13.2015 of the Presidency of telecommunications and communication. "

This is not the first time Turkey has blocked or censored social media that we have covered many stories where Turkey has blocked social networking sites to share news of bombings or another controversial and explosive new content. in 2011 Turkey has blocked 3700 websites only, and in 2014, Internet censorship led to demonstrations and riots leading to the intervention of the live police. However, despite all these cases censorship, each user using a VPN as TorGuard VPN was able to access content regardless of restrictions. a VPN encrypts and hides an IP address through access a remote server through a virtual tunnel.

TorGuard powers one of the most efficient security approaches double layer for users in censored countries such as China and Turkey. by integrating a stealth proxy in a stealth VPN service, users can browse, flow, and use their Internet blameless of deep packet inspection. When using TorGuard VPN traffic is encrypted, the IP is hidden, and the presence of an active VPN is invisible.

While Reddit is active in Turkey from the moment (Imgur is still banned), there is no guarantee that it will always be. Restrictions tighten, and if Turkey follows the combination of some countries, entire sites like Google can be blocked and the content can begin to be permanently blocked altogether.
