Well that didn’t last long. Just days after turkey lifted its ban on YouTube, the site has once again been made unavailable to the country’s 70 million residents.
And all because a handful of videos have been deemed as offensive to a guy who died 70 years ago, when the Internet was a figment of a futurist’s wet dream.
YouTube isn’t exactly new to this banning malarkey, with various countries having prevented its citizens from accessing the Google-owned site over the past few years.
Thailand banned YouTube after Google refused to remove a clip deemed insulting to its royal family. Pakistan then attempted to block access to the site over a video deemed offensive to Muslims. And China has banned YouTube a number of times, most recently over a video showing violence against Tibetan protesters.
Turkey, however, provides the best story of all, with its on/off/on again banning drama playing out like a particularly cheap soap opera.

The chances are you didn’t attend Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. The chances are you were watching it on television instead or, as many people did, watching the live stream on the Web.
There have been a number of political rallies of late, mostly by people on the right-wing, with the Tea Party in particular managing to get millions of people out to Washington DC to show their support for a certain kind of politics.
But this was different, this was the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, and it was designed to bring people from all sides of the political spectrum together to show that they can unite for the greater good. Possibly.
250,000 people actually showed up to the rally led by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, but million watched at home, many on the Internet.
