Twitter ban sparks 'arms race' with tech savvy Turks

Demonstrators, members of Turkish Youth Union, shout anti-government slogans during a protest against Twitter ban, in Ankara By Jonny Hogg ANKARA (Reuters) - Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan rails against Twitter as part of a plot to blacken him and portray his Turkey as corrupt; Last week, few Turks were conversant with technical terms such as VPN or DNS, but that has all changed now, in the pursuit of the forbidden. In a nod to old-style political protest, "workarounds" are even daubed on walls in Turkey's major cities. Even allies have made rare forays into insubordination: Ankara mayor Melih Gokcek tweeted a smiley face and acknowledged using a technological ruse after Erdogan ordered Twitter to be blocked.
