The Turkish government has blocked access to Reddit, once again bringing harsh censorship in the nation.
All the government had to say was "After technical analysis and legal consideration ... administration measure has been taken for this website."
In Turkey, the government uses a controversial censorship law to shut down websites and services across the nation. Internet Law No. 5651 can be evoked without court authorization and has been used in the past to block access to Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
Getting more technical, the site is banned at the DNS level, say experts, meaning if you truly miss Reddit that much you can try to get around the ban using a foreign DNS service.
