A YouTube ban in Turkey that lasted two years has now been ruled a violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Back in 2008, a Turkish court opted to block access to YouTube—a ban that lasted more than two years. The decision was a result of multiple videos on YouTube that the court deemed “insulting to the memory” of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the first president of modern-day Turkey. Following the injunction, three Turkish teachers went to court in 2010 to protest it.
