Turks ban Youtube

Submitted by truehand on Thursday March 08 2007, @06:17AM

truehand writes "BBC and New York Times report that access to the popular video-sharing website YouTube has been suspended in Turkey following a court order. The clip prompting the ban reportedly dubbed Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey, and Turks homosexuals. YouTube removed the video that was uploaded to the site by a Greek, but the ban is still in effect for the entire site. It's not the first time YouTube has been banned, though. The Australian state of Victoria recently banned it from government schools in a crackdown on cyber-bullying after a gang of male students videotaped their assault on a 17-year-old girl on the outskirts of Melbourne."

Butterspoon writes "Ars Technica is running an excellent article entitled "Everything you need to know about IPv6", which should be regarded as essential reading for anyone who is overly comfortable with their IPv4 addresses. From the artice:

As of January 1, 2007, 2.4 billion of those [IPv4 addresses] were in (some kind of) use. 1.3 billion were still available and about 170 million new addresses are given out each year. So at this rate, 7.5 years from now, we'll be clean out of IP addresses; faster if the number of addresses used per year goes up.

Are you ready for IPv6?"
