Turkish Government Blocks YouTube Access

“The decision followed a complaint by a resident in the eastern city of Sivas that the site hosted videos containing insults against Turkey’s founding father Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, President Abdullah Gul, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the army, the Anatolia news agency reported.”

This doesn’t come as a huge surprise to me though. With China blocking FeedBurner not too long ago, so other countries blocking Google services is becoming a “norm” from what I can see.

The Register has more details on what is actually happening here.
