Thanks for the article. I can say Erdogan has a straw man fallacy what is obvious. He's finding a straw man, then exaggerating it with his media power and publicizing it as a scapegoat. The worse and the more dangerous part is he's making this with victimizing himself like "they attacked my sisters, drunk alcohol in the mosque etc". However, there's a news about "Facebook is going to block too" on the TV tonight. News says "Telecommunication Presidency (TİB) is going to block Facebook in 2 days due to national security." Btw, it's the same reason with the Youtube block. Some of my friends says, Youtube is too slow, experiencing SSL handshake errors. I guess they're making DPI maybe some other analysis or MITM. > > This goes directly to the point you're making about Turkish people's > perception of Tor.

I'm working on this. 2 days ago I wrote an article called "Is Tor a ghoul?" in Turkish and it's about what actually Tor is. But it's really hard to remove straw men and I'm open for the advices. > > Thanks much and best of luck to you, > - -Gordon M. Cheers, ~Kus -- The most violent element in society is ignorance.
