Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government

  Bluesky doesn’t work if the IP gets blocked in Turkey, but with Mastodon, you would have to ban every single IP from every Mastodon instance and potentially all other IPs on the Fediverse.

  Let’s say Turkey blocks mastodon.social. Now people in Turkey can’t access Mastodon.social under normal circumstances, but they can still access fosstodon.org, mstdn.social etc. and access the content from Mastodon.social through those other sites.

  Only issue could be media uploaded to Mastodon.social, that’s blocked, unless it has been cached by the website you use.

    Thought this way yes.

    I misread and saw that it was some kind of DMCA, and an instance owner would probably not want to play around with that. Not respecting local laws on specific things is not likely to have serious repercussions

    It’s pretty trivial for them to block all major instances though, or even all instances federated with all major instances

      That would just be an endless game of whack-a-mole given just how many instances there are, and how easy it is to just set up another instance immediately.
