Twitter, YouTube Blocked in Turkey After Court Decision

Reuters: Access to Twitter and YouTube have been blocked in Turkey following a court decision based on complaints from individuals, a source in Turkey’s telecoms industry said. Turkey temporarily blocked Twitter and YouTube in the run-up to local elections in March 2014, after audio recordings purportedly showing corruption in then-Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan’s inner circle were leaked on their sites. That decision caused a public uproar and drew heavy international criticism.
