And owners of those defamation blogs are subjected to crime organization lawsuits inTurkey and therefore these blogs are a part of their illegal activity. And due to Wordpress management doesn’t ignore previous court decisions to remove those specific blogs, Turkish court banned whole domain name as a sanction. And it shouldn’t be forgotten that still removing the ban is in the hands of Wordpress management by just applying the Turkish court’s demand. That is why condemning Turkish judical decision is not very reasonable attitude. Wordpress has equally share in the consequence.
