It was inaccessible in the morning, appears to be back now, so cut the government crap and shut up.

This is from around 09:00

So you suggest at every little internet hiccup I should blame someone and rant about my freedom being restricted?

Our freedom is already being restricted, you idiot. Access to Twitter is blocked by the government, without a court order.

Hiccup my ass.

You cannot discuss anything without name-calling, do you?

And this is coming from a person who called the news "bullcrap".

This is a very sensitive issue and people have good reason to believe every hiccup is intentional.

> And this is coming from a person who called the news "bullcrap".

Please read the definition of name calling.

True, yet I still don't see any reason for me getting insulted.

Being a government shill is good enough reason for me.

You know that the Turkish government is currently playing with the routing for the internet in Turkey. It seems likely given that the google DNS is spraypainted over downtown Istanbul and being shown all over the world on the news, that if the routing from Turkey for the very same DNS goes down for a while, that it is probably something to do with an annoyed politician not realising that the google DNS is used for a lot more than just rogue twitterati.

I am very aware of what the government is messing with lately, maybe this scenario is outcome of an incompetent politician's actions (it probably is), but this could very well be some kind of technical fault. Either way no one knows what is really going on and everyone gone absolutely nuts about someone blocking the dns and thats what I'm not OK with.
