Following a unsuccessful ban on Twitter , the Government of Turkey has decided to block the the Google Open public DNS service 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 because of its recent usage against turkish authorities . Last week, the microblogging site - Twitter was blocked after many Turkish citizens started to post about a powerful corruption scandal that happened there .Posts about it and the latest happenings went viral and the authorities had to pull the plug . But many users overcame the ban by using Google's public DNS services and soon people started to paint various hints about avoiding the ban on many buildings , and due to these actions , the number of tweets were even higher than it was before the ban (17000 tweets per minute).The move  to restrict internet access ,according to the newspaper  Hurriyet Daily News .comes as a executive order because Twitter pays no heed to court rulings ordering the website to remove the offensive tweets.
