Turkish newspaper Hürriyet reported over the weekend that officials
are considering the establishment of their own "ttt" protocol, instead
of the conventional “www” of the World Wide Web.
According to the report, Communications Minister Lütfi Elvan made the groundbreaking suggestion during an informal meeting with journalists in Parliament on Friday.
Turkish Daily News, on the other hand, quoted officials who denied such intention.
The Turkish government is involved in a bitter struggle with social media sites such as Twitter and YouTube, which, it says, publish "malicious" information about the government in general and about Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in particular.
"Instead of www, a ttt system could be formed. Turkey and other countries could establish their own domains.
Such a move would detach the Internet systems from each other. This is a controversial issue," Elvan was quoted as saying by Hürriyet.
