Once again, Turkish internet users are blocked by Twitter and YouTube with a public prosecutor's office. The Turkish authorities blocked access, on grounds of this time, the posting of photographs by Prosecutor Mehmet Selim Kiraz during his hostage, in which the unfortunate prosecutor was depicted with the pistol on the temple.
A document sent by the Istanbul Prosecutor 's Office to the Turkish Telecommunication Association calls on member companies to ban access to these social networks (Twitter and Youtube). Many providers have immediately banned access to social networks (by Monday afternoon), and it is expected that the public prosecutor's order will also be directly implemented by other providers.
In the game of the Turkish authorities with censorship, he became entangled Facebook, where it too was temporarily excluded from the Internet but according to Tayfun Acarer, head of Turkey's Information and Communications Technology Authority, who reported to the Turkish news site Hürriyet the ban on access to Facebook was lifted because the company complied with the court order.
It is the second time that Turkey plays with the right της ελευθερίας του λόγου. Τον Μάρτιο του 2014 οι Τουρκικές αρχές είχαν προβεί στην ίδια κίνηση μετά από ηχογραφήσεις που διέρρευσαν και ισχυριζόταν ότι διαθέτουν αποδεικτικά data for government corruption. Then it Twitter appealed to the courts to lift the ban.
Also at the beginning of 2015, the same courts have condemned the largest social network, Facebook that does not censor pages offensive to Prophet Muhammad.
