From my very limited understanding of the situation there, i believe their strategy is not to try and censor as much as they can, but rather to let people cross lines then imprison them on sight.

I heard stories (can't find link) where apparently political police knew people were using a VPN for quite some time and let them (to map their social network), until they were arrested and charged with the craziest accusations.

To my knowladge no they don't. However for example if you Tweet stuff they don't like for example they will kick your ass into the jail. Limited freedom of speech is pretty bad however Turkey also has more serious problems.
