Remember how Tor doubled its user base in Turkey in the last month? https://metrics.torproject.org/users.html?graph=userstats-relay-country&start=2014-01-04&end=2014-04-04&country=tr&events=off#userstats-relay-country
Well, at least ~18,000 of the 30,000 were Orbot users: https://twitter.com/guardianproject/status/452100420505059329 which I believe was driven directly from the fact that Twitter for Android includes very easy proxy settings, and that Google Play itself was not blocked. There were a number of articles, tweets, in Turkish, that laid out the easy process to install Orbot, enabled Twitter proxy settings, etc. It would be nice it had been 30,000,000 new users (considering the population of Turkey is 74 million), but it might be good to think about Turkey's Twitter block as a "censorship-lite" event, not unlike the UK or Indonesia, and then figure out how we can encourage more adoption next time. +n -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
