Turkey blocks YouTube ... again - by Matt Chapman

A court in Turkey has banned access to YouTube after a single citizen complained that it contained clips which insulted the country. The ruling followed a complaint that material posted on the video sharing website mocked the country's modern founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, along with the national army, president Abdullah Gul and prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The Turkish Telecommunications Board has been told to block all access to YouTube following the court ruling.
