It is not yet clear whether the Turkish authorities have contacted Google to remove the videos, but it appears the service is no longer available in Turkey unless they use alternative means. s.

Google has not yet issued a statement on the matter, but several Turkish Twitter users have confirmed that YouTube appears to be completely blocked throughout Turkey.

How did it all start? According to a Reuters post, a user posted a video today showing the head of Turkey's intelligence service talking to the foreign minister and deputy chief of the armed forces about a possible military intervention in Syria.

Chief of Intelligence Hakan Fidan, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Deputy Chief of General Staff Yasar Guler declined to comment, but with today's decision to ban YouTube, statements are unnecessary.

All of them are currently waiting for possible official statements and more information on what caused the complete ban of the service in Turkey. The ban may be temporary if Google accepts requests from Turkish officials and removes the videos.

The event comes after a court decision that wanted the immediate lifting of the Twitter block. Imagine if America reacted in the same way to Snowden's revelations. With this logic, access to the entire internet should be cut off..
