Turkey Blocks Tor's Anonymity Network (engadget.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Turkey's President Erdogan and the ruling AKP party are increasingly bent on silencing online dissent, and that now affects you even if you're smart enough to evade typical censorship methods. Watchdog group Turkey Blocks has confirmed that Turkey is blocking the Tor anonymity network's direct access mode for most users. You can still use a bridge mode for now, but there are hints that internet providers might be hurting performance even then. The restrictions come alongside a recent government ban on virtual private network services.

Got nothing to hide? by Calydor · 2016-12-19 03:42 · Score: 5, Insightful

If you have nothing to hide you should have nothing to fear.
Wait. Oh, I'm sorry.
If you have nothing to hide you should hope the leader of your country doesn't suffer from delusional paranoia and sees enemies everywhere.
