British MEP urges Turkey to end Youtube ban

Turkey was condemned today for cyber censorship – and for being the only country in the world which bans YouTube.

The Google-owned site is among 1,000 websites which have been blocked by Turkey’s Telecommunications Directorate since last year under the country’s law against cyber crime, which includes outlawing anything deemed to insult the memory of Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic and the country’s first president.
