Turkey Moves To Block Twitter At The IP Level
http://j.mp/NE9nmr (Techcrunch)
"In its effort to curtail access to Twitter, Turkey is getting
more aggressive with a block of the service's IP address,
according to sources inside Turkey as well as a DNS provider.
That means that changing their DNS server, whether it be Google
DNS or OpenDNS, will no longer work for residents in the country
... But the latest move by the government will make it more
difficult, but not quite impossible, for residents to access
Twitter. By blocking Twitter at the IP level, DNS services will
no longer work. Instead, citizens are being urged to access the
service via VPN or by using the Tor anonymity network."

If the government of Turkey comes knocking on the Internet Governance
door any time soon as things stand now, slam it in their face.
