After to be taken to social networking site "Twitter", the Turkish government decided to block the YouTube video platform. He hopes to cover up scandals that could overshadow the government.
So we thought that democracy would triumph yesterday, Turkey takes another step back. Small return on the facts: there is a week the Turkish government decided to block Twitter to stop people who immediately revealed a corruption scandal including the Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Yesterday, a court asked the government to cancel this decision , considering it as too authoritarian censorship. It also seems that at the time of writing this article, the ban has not been lifted.
But not content with silence Twitter, the Turkish government has decided to take to YouTube. The reason for this blockage: a recording of a secret meeting listed on Syria would have leaked and it would have been found on several platforms, including YouTube. Other media indicate that bootlegs going against the government are to blame. Anyway, the ban on YouTube seems like Twitter, abusive and disproportionate decision.
If the government of the fate machine censorship is because the Turkish municipal elections will be held next Sunday. He hopes to stifle scandal that could undermine the ruling party with Recep Tayyip Erdogan is one of the symbols. But these decisions are also authoritarian case of the opposition party who does not hesitate to point the finger behavior unworthy of a democratic government. The strategy of censorship will she actually be paid? The answer next Sunday.
