Turkey has blocked Google DNS

Free (and fairly fast) DNS servers from Google 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8, known to many, are no longer available in Turkey.
No, they were not broken by Russian tourists. The Turkish government decided to uproot the filth, undermining its foundations. Twitter.
Yes, yes, microblogging service tried to overthrow the government of the country.
Twitter, as a popular and simple means of disseminating information, has often been accused of aiding both terrorists and revolutionaries.
Yes, you and I understand that the accusation is of the same order as attempts to whip out the sea that swallowed the fleet or ban the paper, because of the fact that it can print leaflets. And yet, for governments and the media they control, a scapegoat is needed.
And after, through Twitter, they spread unfavorable information about Turkish officials (it was about the records of negotiations between officials from the Prime Minister’s close circle, which contained information about corruption among the Turkish authorities), this same Prime Minister Erdogan promised to “eradicate” Twitter. Because slander spreads through it.
Pay attention to how organically the stupidity, hypocrisy and the thirst for power are combined here.
It is not known exactly how Turkish providers blocked the resource. But literally right after the ban on Twitter, Turkish citizens rushed to look for workarounds.

Advanced users started to move to Tor. The title of the article contains a schedule of using Tor p2p network from Turkey for the last 3 months . The naked eye can see a surge of interest in the network of Turkish users.

Many also used the free DNS from Google - it turned out that replacing the DNS blocking is excellent. And after that, these DNS turned out to be blocked. Turkey became the first country to go to this step.

By tracing parallels with other countries, what can be said about this. To begin with, I recommend everyone to support the development of the Tor network, if not by participating in open source, so at least setting up a relay bundle . If you can allocate at least 50 kilobytes from your channel, this will add another node to the network and make it even more secure and common.

With regards to more radical measures - here everyone decides for himself. The only obvious thing is that simply discussing these events is meaningless. Need to do something.
