Ekşi Sözlük, which has reached millions of users for many years and turned into a huge platform on its own, is on the agenda with the problem of access blocking. A higher court decided to block access again for the platform, which was opened for a short time after the court overturned the access ban decision in the past days.
While the dictionary management announced that it has applied to the judiciary to remove the access block, the platform can be accessed via VPN. Although the number of users who know how to use VPN in our country is quite high, when we consider the general internet audience, the access block causes a serious traffic barrier.
Ekşi Sözlük has almost crashed in the number of visitors.
Ekşi Sözlük, which entered February with more than 1 million visitors and increased this number to 1.2 million on the days of the earthquake, started to lose blood since February 21, when access was blocked.
According to Gemius Audience data, the platform, whose traffic fell sharply below 1 million on February 22, to levels of 200 thousand, closed the month of February with 117 thousand 520 visitors. The day with the lowest traffic in February was February 26 and only 95 thousand visitors were reached that day.
