I always wonder what the real effects of these kind of blocks.

For even average users of the internet, it was easy to overcome this block by just putting a "0" in front of the domain name. 0wikipedia.org is a clone of wikipedia and it was accessible.

WHOIS search shows 0wikipedia domain name was created on 4 May 2017, just five days after the block.

I am a Turkish grad student in the US. Whenever I visited Turkey, I would get surprised by the error page, remember that it was blocked and overcome it by just putting a "0" in the domain name.
