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 Association of Telecommunications Providers asks the Companies – members to deny access to these social networks (Twitter and Youtube). Many providers immediately proceeded with the ban access, of social networks (by noon on Monday) and it is expected that the prosecutor's order will also be immediately implemented by other providers.
In the game of the Turkish authorities with censorship, he became entangled Facebook, where this was also temporarily blocked from the internet but according to Tayfun Acarer, head of the Turkish Information and Communication Technologies Authority, who reported on the Turkish news site Hürriyet the ban on access to Facebook was lifted because the company complied with the court's decision.
It is the second time that Turkey plays with the right of freedom of speech. In March 2014, Turkish authorities made the same move after leaked audio recordings claimed to be evidence of 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.
