Can people in Turkey see youtube again yet? I need to know because I am trying to set up a bellydance lesson with a lady in Istanbul and she can't see my videos and she can't see my website. Any Turkish volunteers to see if you can see my website? www.badiabdancer.com If someone would be so kind as to tell me if you can see it or not and if not, what kind of error message you get. This is the only place I could think of I could find people in Turkey to look. My videos from Youtube are linked to my website, so I think people couldn't see it for that reason...maybe.

yes after youtube agrees to remove the video insulting Atatürk. The ban was because of the video uploaded by the user named Turkomaymun, which reportedly contained insults to Atatürk. youtube was banned for 5 days from 18 to 23 Jan 2008.

I have come to find that there are many different versions of democracy, Catwoman. We must subscribe to the crazy form of it...you know that crazy Freedom=Democracy model!

Perhaps it should be required to send everybody to turkey for a year to re-train them in understanding of what democracy is..? Hopefully that would take care of our craziness

It's not a state initiative.
some individuals (Turkish citizens) filed a complain to the court.
the court decided according to the law. you know we have a law about insulting Atatürk. that's how our democrasy works.

Which part is ridiculous?
what Turkish citizen did,
our low about insulting Atatürk,
or the court's decision?

Sorry we are not at your level yet.
