YouTube Is Back
YouTube, the biggest video sharing site in the Internet, which was banned by the decision of Ankara’s 1st Criminal Court of Peace on May 5, is accessible again. However, the site will not be available before tomorrow because of the updates.
Likewise, the site of Dailymotion, which was banned in the beginning of August, has just become accessible, too.
Both sites were shut down because of having videos that were found offensive to the memory of Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish Republic.
Protest
Wordpress, geocities, Indymedia Istanbul, Gündem, Fırat News Agency (ANF), Ekşi Sözlük, antoloji.com and many other internet sites have been banned either temporarily or permanently.
Last week many internet sites, including bianet, protested the internet censorship by darkening their sites voluntarily. (EÜ/EZÖ/TB)
