Submission + - Turks ban Youtube
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.
