Twitter is blocked in Turkey. On the streets of Istanbul, the action against censorship is graffiti DNS addresses.



Because they're blocking it, apparently, by making requests for twitter.com go to addresses other than Twitter, by hijacking DNS. On the other hand, if you use those DNS addresses (which are Google Public DNS, for the record), when you ask THEM where Twitter is you get to Twitter.

Now that's what I call Hackivsim

The spray painted words next to the numbers translate to "let your bird sing."

Now if you'll excuse me I'll go giggle about this some more.
