Turkey Censors the world!

| #censorship | #internet | #porn | #Social Studies | #technology | #turkey |


I’m sure Turkish authorities wish they could control the whole internet.  A lot of countries do, ’cause let’s face it, the internet is chock full of embarrassing shit, and that can’t be allowed, right?

Turkey actually emailed me to let me know, in somewhat uncertain terms, that this article breached their internet law 5651 which covers the internet.

All of the internet, it seems.  I don’t live in Turkey, the site isn’t hosted in Turkey, none of my content is written in Turkish, nor does it discuss Turkey or have any damned thing to do with Turkey.

So yeah! I”m sort of amused. Their letter is below, in Turkish, followed by their English translation. The Google translation is somewhat different, and I have included it last.

I sent them this reply:

Good afternoon.

I would like to inform you that someone is sending out silly warnings using Turkey’s good name, in an attempt to stifle conversation around the world. I am sure this message is not legitimate because it is quite obviously absurd for Turkish law to apply to websites in other countries.

You may want to track down the offenders and remind them that Turkish law is only for the good people of Turkey.

Sincerely,

NFG.
