YouTube is the latest victim in Turkey’s ongoing assault on social media. This comes one week after Turkey revoked access to Twitter within its borders.
YouTube’s blockage was feared earlier this week after Google refused to remove videos alleging government corruption. Turkey then took moves to stop backdoor access to Twitter by blocking access to Google DNS.
Since being blocked in the country, Twitter filed petitions for lawsuits in a number of Turkish courts after working with its Turkish attorney over the course of the past few days. The company also enacted partial blocks on Twitter content, which satisfy outstanding legal issues, and expects the government to restore it entirely before things proceed.
Like when Twitter was blocked, enraged Turkish citizens have taken to social media channels offering workarounds to enable YouTube access by using VPN and DNS services.
More as we get it.
