Taken from the Reporters without Borders web site

Under new regulations announced by the BTK on 22 February and due to take effect on 22 August, Internet users will have to choose between one of four Internet filtering options: family, children, domestic or standard. One of these filters will have to be installed on every computer for it to have online access. The list of websites blocked by each filter is classified.

"The BTK is not fooling anyone when it claims to be rendering a service to Internet users by giving them a choice between a lot of restrictions and fewer restrictions," Reporters Without Borders said. "This measure is a complete violation of both the European Convention on Human Right and Turkey's own constitution. Everyone should be guaranteed unrestricted access to the Internet."

I do wonder what Ataturk himself, one of history's greatest reformers, would make of all this.
