In an environment where sites such as YouTube and others are increasingly being banned the citizen-consumers' macro-level understanding is that such censorship is part of a wider ideological plan and their micro-level understanding is that their relationship with the wider global network is reduced in the sense that they have trouble accessing full information on products services and experiences. The study revealed that citizen-consumers engage in two types of resistance strategies against such domination by the state: using irony as passive resistance and using the very same technology used by the state to resist its domination.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTurkeyResistanceYouTubeConsumptionCitizen-consumersInternet censorshipArticle271289216WOS:00033146400000610.1177/14614448134797622-s2.0-84894232546Q1Q1
