Morphine Prince 109,768 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Istanbul, Turkey (CNN) - A court order, requested by Turkish authorities, has resulted in the blocking of Twitter and YouTube in Turkey, a government official told CNN. Authorities say they ordered the blocks because the sites did not remove photos and other content from a March 31 hostage situation at Istanbul's central courthouse.The order blocked at least 166 websites that shared the images.During last week's siege, the two gunmen and the prosecutor they reportedly took hostage died in a shootout with police after authorities stormed the courthouse.Turkish authorities moved to stop newspapers from printing images of the incident.Source: http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/06/world/turkey-social-media-blocked/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji 20,113 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 It's going to get messy af, most internet active citizens have all found and shared workarounds I couldn't imagine living somewhere where they censor the internet for political and social reasons... The worst we have here is some pirating sites get blocked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cocaine Heart 4,768 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 That doesn't surprise me at all though. Instead of doing unneccessary things, they should focus on protecting their borders properly so people aren't able to cross over and join ISIS We going to boo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc 4,776 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hopefully they'll protest for their freedom (again). Turkey is getting closer and closer to an autocracy. It's against freedom of speech. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
