i live in istanbul/turkey, and i read most of the comments. the solutions provided ( dns, telegram, other mediums to use etc... ) seems practical but you are missing one thing, that part of the turkey, just started to use tools like twittter, fb, etc.. they don't have same knowledge as we in istanbul.

Blocking twitter, fb, and other tools, was their only chance to get information. i don't say all the information on those platforms are %100 correct but still, they are better then government provided.

Also imagine that, people on that area are just close to the border, yesterday two bombs dropped and 9 people died, 48 people injured and that is just the beginning. there was only social media for them to speak out now they don't. I don't usually follow the press but just because this is a fckng war, i read some news and articles. I can say that, if those people don't distribute the news or stuff happening there, I'm pretty sure the world will not know what is going on there and they will continue to create their own stories.
