TurkofAmerica - The Virtual Private Network (VPN), which has gained attention when the social media sites got banned, is being used by millions of people in the world today. With the work of companies that produce tunnel technologies for certain banned websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube, access is made possible without the recognition of the IP address. Especially in Tunisia and Egypt during the Arab Spring, millions of people accessed the banned sites Twitter and Facebook by using this tunnel technology. And, actually, companies that enabled the breach of this ban gave a pathway to the Arab Spring. Lately in Turkey, as well, the banned site Youtube is being accessed through this technology. The ban on Twitter was also breached through the same technology. Today, around 600 million people are still facing internet bans. One of the sub-branches of the Mountain View, CA-centered VPN company is AnchorFree. Along with the founders of the company, which is also the owner of the HotSpotShield product, David Gorodyansky and Eugene Malobrodsky, a Turkish women entrepreneur, Bağlan Nurhan Rhymes, is the major shareholder.
