The list of weird site bans by turkish government goes quite long.
Wikipedia, Minecraft, Instagram, Youtube, Twitter have been previously blocked but aren't at the moment.
Pastebin and Threads still is blocked.
I still couldn't find any clue as to why they're randomly banning these sites..
All I could think of is that maybe the minister or whoever's in charge has kids that they couldn't control their internet scrolling time so they just took the easier path and done a national ban on these specific everyday sites, but that's just a theory..
Try fixing the economy now
I assume the guy with the solution is doing that Turkish ice cream vendor thing where he keeps sleight-of-handing it away from the rest of the government
