google drive, dropbox, onedrive and GITHUB (😞) blocked for political reasons in Turkey...
Little thought for the dev's out there and every people that uses those services for work

Sorry to hear that. Give a try to tor.

@rookiemaverick I leave in France right now so there's no problem for me but I was born there and it breaks my heart to see what they're going through politically :(

I'm a Turk that's born and raised here in the United States and it absolutely pisses me off that it is the year 2016 and a country that claims to be "democratic" can censor the internet.

@jdmkaan Indeed. Ataturk would be ashamed.

@Christine You are absolutely right. What a great guy that strived towards modernization and westernization. It's like nowadays Turkey is doing everything that is against those visions.

@jdmkaan When I heard about the recent coop, I was like, "holy shit, it's finally happening, the military is doing its duty and returning that young nation to its secular-government roots."

But alas.

The problem with democracy, it seems, is that everyone gets a vote.

@kalpitjain Well there was a guide on there recently that showed people how to get round China's firewall restrictions, so for the same reason, I guess.

Can't access dropbox but others work fine for me.. fucking turkey can't even use paypal anymore i want out of here !

Have you tried Express VPN? That's the one I used while I was visiting China.

That is so sad 🙁 hope it changes.

Bitbucket?

@Maharba I can't tell you for sure, as i'm not there right now but it wasn't said that they blocked access to bitbucket

GitHub blocked. Of course! Because you can organise a rebellion against the government by creating a branch on their repo and asking people to commit on it. #dafuck

Create a VPN on Amazon cloud it's free for a year , and decent speeds

@Maharba that is not the problem. Since you can set up your own GitLab server anyways. The problem is that github hosts a lot of software, which are used as dependencies by in development. And also all the open source software, which the Turkish people cannot collaborate to. It's sad.

@Yeah69 Could you not download them on a VPN and then host those packages locally?

They've hamstrung their own tech economy.

@drRoss sure. But the thing is that by censoring github the Turkish government made a clear statement that they don't want you to use it anymore. I would be cautious, because they would not like you to use it over VPN. Maybe they would track you. Who knows? Anything is possible there now.

@Yeah69 it's like if they banned steel imports just because they thought someone can make knives with it to kill people...
