Turkey will be stronger with post-YouTube

The Turkish parliamentary committee has just approved in principle a petition to allow it to block access to any website that contains insulting information about its founder.

It is expected that the Turkish Parliament will vote through the petition, but the voting date has not been announced yet. The content of this petition mainly criticizes the "overdone" freedom of Westernism even though Turkey is in the process of reforming to join the EU.

On April 5, lawmakers under the Turkish parliamentary committee also discussed discussions about the possibility of expanding the "punishment" scope proposed by the petition, which would allow the Commission. The country's media has the right to prevent any website from giving suspicious information about leadership principles that have existed for hundreds of years as well as the country's unification.

In Turkey, the insult of the founder of modern Turkey, Ataturk, is taboo and will be punished. The image of Ataturk's founder is printed on the faces of these coins and painted on portraits hung at most government offices.

Last month, the Turkish court banned access to YouTube after the site posted a short video that insulted Ataturk founder. However, then two days the ban was lifted.

Three days ago, YouTube was banned from access in Thailand after posting a 44-second video containing content allegedly offended by the king of the golden pagoda.
