It seems like the turkish government is trying to create jobs here. Building a "nationalised turkish twitter alternative"? The way things are right now, they need a nationalized turkish github service first.
- h1d 10y agoNational Turkish government alternative may be a solution.
- tajen 10y agoActually, it's not acceptable from a national security standpoint to massively let a country's citizen flock on US services, at least as long as the NSA/CIA exists. The internet does need much more competition on all continents, including for webmail services. For example I don't see why my government (in Europe) should accept tax reports with a US email (because everybody has @gmail.com or @hotmail.com) – Why not at this point go all the way and delegate our tax collection to the American IRS... On the other hand it has to go towards privacy, choice and democracy. Obviously cutting your citizen from the international websites is the one wrong way to stem local competition...
- bbcbasic 10y agoOr a decentralized github service ;-)
- hollander 10y agoI think decentralizing government is easier and better.
- fooker 10y agoMaybe a distributed version control system to power it? ;)
- cschmittiey 10y agoYou mean something like this? https://github.com/clehner/git-ssb https://github.com/clehner/git-ssb
- tf2manu994 10y agoI think the joke was that git is distributed already
- bbcbasic 10y agoYes but I feel the joke is on me as some kind of hosting makes discovery at lot easier.
- feklar 10y agoThis is what I first think of when a government makes up excuses to block a foreign service, they are just trying to promote their own local services like Baidu/Sina Weibo in China.
