Youtube was the most popular video sharing web site. Everyone could find any video what they search. However, RTÜK banned it in 2008. Since this date, we have not been entering YouTube. RTÜK claimed that videos in YouTube were insulting to Turks.
The ban has been strongly criticized as censorship by both the press and the general puclic (especially me :] ). It has also added to national and international concerns about Turkey's commitment to freedom of speech. I think it was embarrassing.
I want to ask a question.
Is blocking websites like YouTube justified?
Everyone can say their opinions. However, I think No.
There isn't any justification to blok the web sites because the problem doesn't solve using this method. If there is a mistake, firstly faultys must find. If website blocks, everybody was been punished. Moreover, people who enters the website in another country can still see the faulty event or video. Because of this, i didn't agree blocking websites.
