‘Turkey blocks dns servers Google following in the footsteps of Twitter-block’

Several Turkish internet users report that they are no longer using Googles dns servers on Twitter. The dns-servers of Google be used for the newly established blockade of Twitter in Turkey to get around.

The reports about the blockage of the dns-servers of Google were on Twitter themselves. There are also users that indicate that the blockade only briefly. The Turkish government has been no official statement given about the blockage of the dns servers. Alternative dns-servers of other providers would still be accessible.

It is likely that the Turkish government has access to the dns servers of Google has blocked because it is massively used to access Twitter. On Friday it was a dns blockade for Twitter, which is so easy to bypass. In addition to a different dns server, it remains possible, incidentally, to with vpn to access Twitter, or by of Twitters sms service use. Therefore, it is not likely that the blocking of Google’s dns servers makes sense. It is also unclear why Turkey is not the ip addresses of Twitter has blocked: the workaround with a different dns server.

Previously it was also shown that the blockage of Twitter would make little sense: shortly after the set it turned out that there from Turkey a recordaantaal Tweets have been sent. There would Friday more than 2.5 million messages are posted by Turkish internet users.
