"Twitter, YouTube and Facebook are international companies established for profit and making money," Erdogan said.
"Twitter is at the same time a tax evader. We will go after it," he added.
"These companies, like every international company, will abide by my country's constitution, laws and tax rules".

If Turks are not the dumbest people in this world, they should immediately pull this lunatic down from the President post, by whatever means. How can anyone vomit so much of stupidity?

Turkey's prime minister said Saturday he will "go after" Twitter, accusing the site of tax-evasion, after it was used to spread damaging leaks implicating his inner circle in corruption claims.

In a televised speech, Recep Tayyip Erdogan also launched a tirade against the nation's highest court for ruling against a ban on Twitter, charging that it put the rights of businesses above that of Turkey's.

"Twitter, YouTube and Facebook are international companies established for profit and making money," Erdogan said.

"Twitter is at the same time a tax evader. We will go after it," he added.

"These companies, like every international company, will abide by my country's constitution, laws and tax rules".

wait so, did they ban facebook?

I'v read something about it earlier but still didn't catch up if it's all just "going to happen" or it happened in the meanwhile from posting this thread and this page we're currently on? Cheesy

I don't live in Turkey but the threat of using free speech over there is getting more and more perilous . That is the main raison d'être of this thread.

They never banned Facebook but PM said they may be banned on the TV.
Twitter was banned 2 weeks before local elections, supreme court cancelled the ban order after elections. It is open right now. It was closed for 3 weeks.
Youtube was also banned, but it's open again.
They also blocked some DNS services, including Google DNS. (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) (It has common use in Turkey)
They intentionally slowed down the network speed. They can easily do that, because internet service provider Türk Telekom is monopoly in Turkey.
The most important reason behind these bans is to hide how PM and his family stole more than 10 billion dollars from public.
In a normal democratic country, PM need to resign millions of times, but this is Turkey. Smiley

What is the percentage in turkey of people having sex with animals?

I expect that to be in the 75-80% range. Taking a look back in to the history, the Ottomans were famous for their love of goats and camels. That's why in the Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks, they called Sultan Mehmed IV a goat-f*cker.

Quote
Zaporozhian Cossacks to the Turkish Sultan!

O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil's kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight are you, that can't slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil excretes, and your army eats. You will not, you son of a bitch, make subjects of Christian sons; we've no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck your mother.

You Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw your own mother!

So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. You won't even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we'll conclude, for we don't know the date and don't own a calendar; the moon's in the sky, the year with the Lord, the day's the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!

Koshovyi Otaman Ivan Sirko, with the whole Zaporozhian Host.

NATO / EU doesn't have anything to say about this? Remember that Turkey is the foremost candidate at the moment for the EU membership.

“We will not leave this nation at the mercy of YouTube and Facebook.” — Turkey prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan

The prime minister of Turkey is looking to pass legislation that will allow the government to block websites without a court order, reports the Wall Street Journal.

The purpose of Erdogan’s potential law, WSJ claims, is to stop “leaked audio recordings online purportedly revealing corruption in his inner circle.” The key targets of this proposed legislation are YouTube and Facebook.

When asked if an entire ban may occur, Erdogan reportedly confirmed its potential to Turkish-based broadcaster ATV, saying “yes, closure included.”

This ban is not yet in place, but the risk is real: Turkey has blocked numerous social networks in the past, including Twitter and Facebook, with bans as recent as mid 2013. This history in Turkey of a willingness to block social media makes Erdogan’s statements all the more dire.

I wouldn't mind facebook being banned in the U.S.  Grin

In more seriousness though, you'll probably see alot more of this sort of government-sponsored censorship as the years progress and they adapt to the threat that instant global communication brings.
