"Blogger, latest victim of a deadlock on the Internet in Turkey", Hürriyet title. Justice has decided to prohibit access to the platform Blogger, owned by Google, press reports, Wednesday, March 2. "This ban should take effect within days, unless challenged in court," the daily. To justify this, the court explained that some blogs have infringed copyright by illegally broadcast on their pages and broadcasts of football matches.
Digiturk is the group, which broadcasts several satellite channels, which is the source of the complaint. But for the cyber-Yaman Akdeniz, cited in Hurriyet, the ban is a "disproportionate response", which will affect millions of people. "I understand the legitimate concerns of Digiturk about its commercial rights, but a ban on all these websites will not solve the problem," he says.
More than 600,000 Turkish Internet users would use regular Blogger. LONG YOUTUBE BANNED IN TURKEY In a press release, Digiturk emphasizes that illegal broadcasts have continued, despite numerous requests, and recalls that he paid $ 321 million (230 million euros) to acquire the rights to broadcast the Turkish football league.
This is not the first time that Google faces bans its services by the Turkish authorities. In October, an Ankara court has lifted a ban on YouTube. Access to Google's video site was banned since September 2007 following a complaint from an individual alleging distribution of videos irreverent towards the founding of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
