EngelliWeb (English: BlockedWeb) is a civil society initiative launched in 2008[1] that share information & statistics on the blocked websites, URLs and social media content in Turkey. Over the last decade, the EngelliWeb project information and data has become a primary reference source providing concrete data on its field for many domestic[2][3] and foreign media organizations[4][5] as well as academic articles and parliamentary questions. In fact, it is cited regularly in every annual Human Rights Report of the US Department of State[6].
EngelliWeb was awarded the Honorary Freedom of Thought and Expression Award of the Turkish Publishers Association in 2015[7] and Best of Online Activism (The BOBs) Turkish User Award of Germany’s international broadcaster Deutsche Welle in 2016.[8]
Since the foundation of the Freedom of Expression Association (İFÖD) in 2017, EngelliWeb has continued its activities under the roof of the Association.
In addition to their annual reports, they report blocked news articles through their web site and Twitter account.[9][10]
Annual EngelliWeb Reports
[edit]No official statistical data on websites blocked from Turkey was published either by the former Presidency of Telecommunication and Communication (TIB) or its successor Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK). Also, no statistics on blocked websites, news articles (URLs) and/or social media content has ever been published by the Association of Access Providers (ESB). Comprehensive "EngelliWeb Reports"[11] were published for 2018, 2019 and 2020 with regards to ongoing Internet censorship practices in Turkey and provides an overview for the 2007-2020 period on blocked websites. EngelliWeb's annual reports are one of the only publicly available sources of any information on which websites have been blocked, or content removed.
According to the EngelliWeb 2020 report named Fahrenheit 5651: The Scorching Effect of Censorship access to 467.011 websites was blocked from Turkey by the end of 2020 with a total of 408.808 separate orders issued by 764 separate institutions including criminal judgeships of peace and other authorised public institutions.[12][13]
It was reported in the EngelliWeb 2019 report named An Iceberg of Unseen Internet Censorship in Turkey that access to 408.494 websites was blocked by the end of 2019. [14]
