Internet Censorship
« on: April 26, 2011, 08:07:17 AM »
Interesting article below about new laws coming into effect this August, isn't this what caused uprisings in some of countries recently!

I tried half a dozen sites yesterday that were working last week and all have been blocked, mainly film file share sites, so looks like they are already doing this big time, they ban so many sites they have stopped listing the numbers but when they did they were doing in excess of 12000 a day!! All users will be sent a 4 package choice in future to decide on the level of censorship apparently

Turkey already bans more websites than any other European country. Now the government is set to introduce new controls that officials say are needed to protect children. Critics fear they represent an effort control the web.

The Turkish government calls its new Internet controls Safe Use of the Internet. They are scheduled to take effect in August and will require all Internet users to choose from one of four filter profiles operated by their server provider. Law Professor Yamman Akdeniz at Bilgi University in Istanbul says the measures open the door to government censorship of the Internet.
