Ekşi Sözlük was blocked on February 21, 2023, about three months ago. While the dictionary officials made the necessary legal objections, the site was relaunched with the “ekisozluk2023” field. However, with a decision taken on May 13, access to this domain name was blocked. After this decision, the site management was re-published with the domain name “eksisozluk42.com” and now this address is also blocked.‘ekisozluk42’ access denied
Access to Ekşi Sözlük (eksisozluk42.com) was blocked with the decision of the Information Technologies and Communication Authority dated 14 May 2023 and numbered 490.05.01.2023.-237305. Ekşi Sözlük published a statement on the subject on its Twitter account:
“Even though it was not communicated to us, we saw that with the decision of the BTK dated May 14, 2023, we were faced with a blocking of access. As with all other decisions, we will object to this decision and we will continue our struggle before the law. We will do our best to create space for all my users who want to share their thoughts and read different opinions.”
Ekşi Sözlük management has redirected the traffic of eksisozluk42 address to “eksisozluk1923.com”. However, considering the current steps, it is possible that the BTK will impose an access blocking decision on this address as well. If you do not want to experience an access problem, you can use a VPN.
