EFDbackup: Turkey’s Saturday Night Crackdown on Internet: Google Drive, Dropbox banned…

http://ift.tt/2dVmq69

…due to the fact that Redhack, a Turkey based hacker group, released Erdoğan’s son-in-law’s (Berat Albayrak) hacked emails… It is a torrent file in fact. Not much can be done to prevent people reading the stuff. But you know, authorities are not always rational… This will just cause more pain for users and more revenues for the VPN companies…

Medium and a few smaller file sharing sites are also banned at the moment…
