Hello,
Today the Wikimedia Foundation, in cooperation with a number of volunteers who attended the Wikimedia Conference, have posted on Twitter and Facebook a video message speaking to the one-year anniversary of the block of Wikipedia in Turkey.
The video re-enforces our message that this block is a lost opportunity both for the people of Turkey and the rest of the world. Any assistance that you all can offer in terms of helping circulate the video amongst your networks would be greatly appreciated!

We have also made the video available on Wikimedia Commons if you would like to help us with translating: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A_year_without_Turkey.webm
This is a part of our ongoing efforts around the block in Turkey, and done with input from members of the local community in Turkey. We GREATLY appreciate the help of everyone involved in the development and all of you who are sharing these messages. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Jacob,
Does your answer at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vMFUaEeH3w&t=33m pertain to these specific links about IPFS?
https://ipfs.io/blog/24-uncensorable-wikipedia/
http://observer.com/2017/05/turkey-wikipedia-ipfs/
Are there any reasons the Foundation or community volunteers shouldn't point to those links as an approach forward for Turkey and other government censors?
