The ban was imposed after prosecutors told the court that clips insulting former Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk had appeared on the site.

I wonder what our MSM would look like today, if our government did the same thing to every MSM outlet, internet site, and new media that made INSULTING remarks against our President????

Hint: There would be no news of ANY kind.

Another reason why the UN should not be in charge of the Internet.

Right up there with the recent French ban on disseminating images of violence by anyone other than "journalists."

About 50 writers in the country have been put on trial for allegedly contravening the rule, including Nobel prizewinner Orhan Pamuk

Get a couple of Pamuk's novels and read them. Get some of the subjective flavor of Istambul.

This is hilarious, given how YouTube management routinely delete anti-Islam videos and never delete videos by Imams extoling Islam, even when those Imams defame Jews and Christians, the U.S. and Israel, and endorse Hamas and Hizbollah--both of which have long been considered terrosits organizations by the U.S. State Department.
