When you ask the IP of Wikipedia site the DNS connection is being reset. Any DNS server, not only popular ones. They man in middle the DNS queries.
Sometimes they block by resetting the connection.
Some IP addresses of blocked domains are blocked too.
ISPs must follow the rules or owners of these companies will loose the ownership, as it happened with many anti-AKP companies.
$5 is expencive for average Turkish citizen.
Evading the issue is not a real solution. They will keep blocking web sites. The issue is uneducated people voting for him.
- petre 9y agoThat's probably why the Turkinsh gov't blocked Wikipedia - to keep people uneducated and thus retain his grip on power. It doesn't really make sense otherwise.
- terminalcommand 9y agoThey claim the reason for it is that Wikipedia refused to take down articles of which Turkish government is "sensitive" about. These include evidence suggesting govermental support to ISIL. What I don't understand is why do they block ALL versions of wikipedia? They could have at least provided us with a "safe version" of wikipedia under a governmental domain like wikipedia.diyanet.gov.tr As a citizen residing in Turkey, I'm concerned, afraid, but mostly frustrated.
