Would you still want to ban YouTube? Jillian kaan,

I understand that you love Ataturk, but what if the issue was videos about George Bush, for example? Would you still want to ban YouTube?

To slander him in any way is a national offense, and while it isn't specified that "reading" negative content about Ataturk is illegal, the country (with its one ISP) just blocks the sites. In the case of the wordpress ban, that deals specifically with a private legal slander case. The 'slandered' person sought a court order to have the site blocked and it was granted.

None of this has found its way into any mainstream media I have read. Instead I had the impression that such censorship was a specialty of authoritarian states.
