Request for Mozilla VPN Availability in Turkey: Upholding Free Access and Fundamental Rights

Dear Mozilla Team, As a loyal and long-time user of Firefox and Mozilla products, I am writing to you today with a heartfelt appeal regarding a critical issue facing internet users in Turkey. While I am glad to see that built-in VPN features have been successfully rolled out in various countries worldwide, it is deeply concerning that this feature is notably unavailable in Turkey. In recent years, Turkey has experienced severe restrictions on freedom of expression, heavy censorship, and increasing limitations on human rights. In this challenging environment, people—especially the youth and those striving to keep up with global knowledge, science, and civilization—rely heavily on an open and unhindered internet to maintain their connection with the wider world. Unfortunately, authoritarian administrations actively seek to silence these voices and isolate societies. As a steadfast champion of privacy, security, and an open internet, Mozilla has always stood on the side of users. Turkish users are in dire need of built-in VPN support to bypass these heavy restrictions and reclaim their fundamental digital rights. I sincerely hope that Mozilla will hear our voices, recognize our urgent need, and take steps to make the built-in VPN available in Turkey as well. Thank you for your dedication to a free and open web for everyone. Best regards, Brusky A long-time Firefox user from Turkey
