Turkey: Court orders lifting of YouTube ban

Ankara's court decided the repeal of the ban on the use of the website YouTube in Turkey.

However, the ban is still going on for 15 videos that are posted on the website, as agency Reuters reports.

Earlier, Prime Minister of Turkey Tayyip Erdogan criticized the decision of the Turkish Constitutional Court to found the government's decision illegal, forcing the government to withdraw the measure.

Decision for Twitter

The use of that social network has been banned by the telecommunications authority in Turkey in the night of March 21, following the order of the Prime Minister of Turkey Tayyip Erdogan, as a lot of complaints about corruption of government official had been published in the website.
The country's Constitutional Court decided that the ban of Twitter was illegal, contrary to freedom of expression.
