By now, probably all Europe knows, that Twitter has been blocked in Turkey. However, so far, most of us still have access to Twitter and other social media. After people noticed that twitter is closed, they started to post solutions about how to access twitter anyway. (click)
Apparently even the president of Turkey himself, used this solution and tweeted today, that the closing of all social media is not acceptable.
In a TV interview on March 6 PM Erdoğan said: "We are determined we won’t let the Turkish people be sacrificed to YouTube and Facebook." He claimed that "those people [the social media services] incite any kind of immorality or espionage for the profit of these institutions." (mashable.com)

How to access twitter? Try this, for now it works... ...we will see, what will happen after March 30. |
Anyway, YouTube had been blocked a few years ago and I hope it will not be blocked again. There are also rumors, that PM is trying to create an protest before elections, which will take place on March 30.
Ironically, today's # trends on Twitter in Turkey are:
#ErdoganBlockedTwitter
#TwitterisblockedinTurkey
#25MartKorkusu
#TurkeyBlockedTwitter
#DictatorErdogan
Hotspot Shield
