Turkey removes YouTube ban
Turkey has removed a ban on YouTube, two years after it blocked the website after videos were posted which it found insulting to its country’s founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
In Turkey, it is illegal to insult Ataturk or ‘Turkishness’ in general. Turkish courts ordered the ban in March 2007 and it came into full effect in May 2008.
However, Transport Minister Binali Yildrim has said there was no longer a reason to ban YouTube, due to the removal of the videos in question.
YouTube said in a statement the videos were removed by “a third party” using the automated copyright complaint process, as opposed to the content being removed by the site itself.
