i am joined now via skype by jim cowie, cto for renesys, and andrew gardner, an amnesty researcher whohe ground in turkey. andrew, describe the situation on the ground for us. i know some people are successfully circumventing the difficulties the government has put into place, but what is the latest? >> that's right. twitter was first blocked on thursday evening here. they moved to different type of blocking which is more difficult for people to get around. a lot of people are still tweeting from turkey. the issue is really a polarizing one just like so many other issues in turkey. the prime minister is still talking about the twitter ban, threatening to even ban youtube and facebook, and his supporters seem to be in agreement with him. lots of people in turkey are completely outraged about this attack on freedom of expression. it looks like the situation will go on and there is no end to this twitter ban in sight. >> jim, you guys are putting out realtime maps of the outage. what is the state of affairs in terms of how far this outage reaches? >> it is unchanged from what we saw early
