Turkey Goverment Bans Youtube A Week After Twitter Was Banned

Turkey has blocked access to YouTube, just a week after the country blocked Twitter, and only three days ahead of local elections in the country. The ban was ordered on Thursday after leaked recordings of a security meeting were published on YouTube. Turkey may lift the ban if YouTube agrees to remove the leaked audio recordings.
It's unclear at this point if Google will agree to that since the company already refused to remove videos alleging government corruption last week. The video purported to be an audio recording of a meeting with Turkey's intelligence chief, the foreign minister and the deputy head of the armed forces to discuss potential military operations against Syria. This is not the first time Turkey has blocked YouTube. A Turkish court blocked the service in 2007, after videos insulting the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk were posted to the site.
