"Dear friends, colleagues, art enthusiasts, free and forever young thinkers and speakers of our dear old world. Unfortunately and sadly I have to inform you that from now on law authorities of my country banned entrance to Blogger sites. As you may know service providers in Turkey have been interrupting and preventing any access attempt to several porn sites including Youtube and Blogspot sites from Republic of Turkey. Porn industry's effect on juvenile development and public health is another issue, however Youtube and Blogspot are free information sharing platforms for ordinary Internet users. There is no adequate, logical, sensible reason for banning public access. It's claimed that Blogs have became instruments of ill intentions, therefore preventing further sociological and political damage in Turkey, government authorities forbid the public access technically. However there are still free proxy services, so this attempt is not a successful one, but still very annoying, distasteful and outrageous. Dear friends from the different sides of the world, I want to inform you that as the citizens of Turkey we can't enter these Internet sites by using conventional and legal ways. Internet is a free sharing platform. Internet is one of the most important quantum leaps of human civilization such as invention of fire, writing or printing. Human civilization! Civility! Us! We! Soldiers, government officials, politicians, demagogues, men of power and fanatics did not found the human civilization. The civilization was created by simple men, whose have tried to invent simple interaction and communication mediums for the welfare, pleasure and curiosity of the simple men. It's a well-known fact that The Internet was created for the purpose of warfare not welfare, but it becomes an opportunity for peace, creative thinking and cooperation amongst different cultures of our world. Hear me people! Our world, The Earth we stand on, The Earth we all eventually turned to. Don't leave fears, corruptions, bigotries, prejudices and restrictions to our World and future generations. For the freedom of speech, for the freedom of thinking, for the freedom of sharing and conversation, for the freedom of creativity, don't behave! Talk, write, answer, payback as the civil people of our civilization."

I agree with you wholeheartedly and I just can't tell you how pissed off this makes me, and sad, terribly sad at all our freedoms being eroded day by day, for power and money. I am disgusted...I hope you find a workaround so you can exorcise your freedom to learn, discuss, explore and communicate.

That link above is (hopefully) my blog on yahoo 360 (which I don't write in much anymore). I felt like posting it because your entry here has to do with the same issue in my last entry and I think you may find it usefull. All the very best to you. Thanks for being vocal about net neutrality.
:icongokceyazin:
You know some people do not seem to understand that these extreme measures can become a threat to neutrality, to freedom of speech, like some naive people like to believe it will be only the porn websites that will get the ban, when in fact our freedom of speech is being taken away from us, one website at a time. Thank you for posting the link...

That is terrible! Just... terrible. Websites shouldnt be blocked, people should just pay attention to what their children are doing on the computer. Punish the whole for the benifit of the arrogant. Not saying that anyone is an idiot here, its just the fact that the government had to get involved and waste their friggen time with youtube and porn sites really grinds my gears.

Thanks for the fav :D

The fate of all man kind, i see, is in the hands of fools...
