Hello, and thank you for writing to me on this issue.
Unfortunately, given the information you have sent me, I cannot honor your request.
Being located in the United States, we are not subject to the legal opinions of the Turkish government. In fact, one of the main purposes of our sites is to make sure that dissenting information can reach those in countries where the population is unfortunate enough to have this information blocked from them. Of all the uses for our proxy service, this one is widely regarded as the most socially acceptable and socially important service that we provide.
The United States has no similar idea behind blocking access to foreign websites. Websites and material may themselves be considered illegal for slander or other reasons, and the websites shut down by their hosting provider. It is also possible to seek damages from the publisher if their speech is considered slanderous or otherwise illegal. On the other hand, internet service providers (of which proxy services share many similar rights and responsibilities) are not required to filter content in the manner you have asked. If there is no legal basis to shut down the source of the material, then there is no basis to require us to filter it either. And if there is basis to shut down the source of the information, then us providing unfiltered access to the internet is a moot issue. In fact, I find it particularly offensive that you would ask me to block wordpress.com, a site that thousands if not millions of people rely on to spread their opinions and inform themselves on topics of concern, and asking this of us without giving any valid legal basis that requires us to do so.
The reason to access information anonymously is so that you can access what you need to without fear of punishment, and to access what you need to when others do not want you to. If we were to block access to the information you ask, our service would be pointless to users in Turkey. Therefore, if you feel you must block access to our service in Turkey, it is no greater loss than if we had blocked access to the information that our Turkish visitors were trying to acccess. I further think you will find this issue is not as simple as you would think. There are literally thousands of proxy sites on the internet that do the same thing. If you'd like to play a game of whack-a-mole to filter them all, be my guest.
I understand you are just doing your job. I am also just doing mine. No personal offense is meant. Good luck in your duties.
Sincerely,
