So it turns out, the ban has nothing to do with protecting fragile Turkish minds from unfavourable Ataturk films, but it´s all about alışverış lol Money talks (and googles haha)

 

Wrong conclusion. That doesn´t mean they would not be punished. If they register as a tax-payer then they would be fined in that case instead of banning only.

Ah now, you are trying to defend the people who ban websites or defending ´banning websites´ because banning was done idiotic, simpleton but Turkish authorities?

And you think supporting the decisions like ´banning the websites´ is part of every Turk´s job?

lol lol

Ok, so Google should accept to pay taxes in Turkey so that it can be fined for allowing people to publish films not praising Turkish national hero?

Nobody has to praise him. They can criticize him as well. That´s OK. If they don´t swear at him, there is no problem. If they do, there is a law for punishment of such things.

Yes, there is but only in Turkey. Don´t Turkish people swear at other countries´ national heroes? I´m just asking out of curiosity...well, if they do, they shouldn´t be surprised if their hero is sworn at. Besides, It is beyond my comprehension why a government bans a site where you look for specific  materials, they´re not forced on you. It´s not like you enter youTube hand first have to watch an anti-Ataturk film.

 

Si++ just admit it, it IS about money this time

It´s not our goverment that bans it. It´s a court decision in accordance with the law.

 

It doesn´t matter whether I admit or not. There is a law for it. There is nothing to do but apply it for the court. Yes it´s good for Türk Telekom for example as they save a lot of bandwidth.

TBMM (National Assembly of deputies). But the thing is nobody dare to change that law. Nobody can do something like that. If they do they would be punished by the voters in the next elections.

lets say that my knoweledge on jusridiction and legislation is limited. Yet a question sneaks in: How do the voters punish the law makers? By which law and by what actions or legal proceedings? You see, I for the first time now hear that voters can punish the law makers in the elections. Am I missing something?

Maybe Turks appoint the Judiciary by means of general election? {#emotions_dlg.unsure}
