No shit they can safely watch gay porn, it isn’t Russia/Iran

Some people are reaching to really wrong conclusions from this post, so a couple of pointers

1. Gay porn is not specifically blocked in Turkey, porn is; so gay porn watchers would be mostly indistinguishable from any porn watchers via their evasion techniques

2. Not that it matters as you are free to be gay in Turkey

3. Not that it matters again, because access to blocked content is never prosecuted. No one ever receives letters from their ISP even for pirating

4. Calling the internet state controlled is a bit far imo, smaller ISPs don’t even apply some blocks and comparatively USDoJ can do domain seizures which is not too different from what happens there (websites being blocked via court orders and “administrative preventative measures”). Although I’d agree that the line for blocking is drawn too close.

5. I also wouldn’t call Mersin very conservative, the left CHP just won the municipal election with ~60% of the votes

One last thing, ISPs have moved on to using DPI to block websites so you might wanna suggest something like green-tunnel so they can up their game.
