P A G E 3 3 | N E W E R AY A R E N A L T U N K I R A NIn some cases, citizenjournalism can serve asa means ofcircumventing censorshipand bringing importantinformation to light thatmight otherwise besuppressed. However,citizen journalism canalso be a target ofcensorship, particularly ifit is perceived as athreat to governments orother powerful actors. This can involve blocking access to websites or socialmedia accounts, arresting or harassing individuals who produce or share citizenjournalism content, or spreading misinformation or propaganda to discredit citizenjournalism.For example, measures or blocks such as the broadcasting ban andslowing down the Internet speed that came after the explosion in Taksim inrecent days were met with reaction by the community on Twitter and othersocial media platforms. People got to the information through people whowere close to the crime scene. In the face of these blocks and censors, wecan see that VPN (Virtual Private Network) usage has increased in people.On November 13, the day of the Taksim bomb attack, VPN demand in Turkeyincreased by 853 percent.A VPN, or Virtual PrivateNetwork, is a tool that allows you toconnect to the internet via a secure,encrypted connection. This can beuseful in a number of situations,including:1. Protecting your online privacy and security: When you use aVPN, your internet traffic is routed through a secure server,making it difficult for anyone to monitor or intercept youronline activity.2. Bypassing internet censorship: In some countries, thegovernment censors certain websites or types of content.By using a VPN, you can access these websites as if youwere located in a different country where the censorshipdoes not apply.

By using a VPN, youcan "trick" these websites into thinking you are located in a different region,allowing you to access the content.It's important to note that while a VPN can help you bypass internetcensorship and access restricted content, it is not a foolproof solution. Somegovernments are able to block VPNs, and using a VPN may be illegal in somecountries. It's always a good idea to research the laws and regulations inyour country before using a VPN.In general, if we look at it, the endless information environment that we canaccess together with the digitizing world can sometimes be tried to beblocked by states or individuals in positive or negative ways. The impact ofcensorship on individuals and society is complex and multifaceted, and it isimportant to carefully consider the potential consequences of censorship inany context.
