"Within the same day as the PM announced his intention to do so (previous story here), Twitter has been blocked in Turkey. Reports say that it is currently possible to circumvent the ban by using Google DNS. But the word is, they will not only prevent this method, but also block Facebook and Youtube."

    I've been halfheartedly following this story. The action's deplorable but the implementation is what jumped out at me.

    WTF?

    It works for a large portion of the population. Measures like this are about population control, not technical perfection.
