It is surprising to me how easy Internet companies are bullied into censorship. Services should start carrying the "Banned in Turkey" flag as a badge of honor.

It is surprising to me how easy Internet companies are bullied into censorship. Services should start carrying the "Banned in Turkey" flag as a badge of honor. "Banned in China" is required nowadays if you want to be taken seriously anyway.
For individuals, "Banned from Facebook" has a similar note. For a time now, Kurdish interests have been prosecuted by Facebook. And not just in Turkey.

- medyadaily 9y agoturkey is no china, china is a economy power, contributes a lot to the world. Turkey is nothing like that, they do contribute in promoting Jihadi and extremist version of islam but that is not the contribution you want.
- lolc 9y agoIn all fairness Turkey does have a sizable economy. Not clear whether that will be true in a year though. Not just humans, a lot of capital has been fleeing the seizures.
