Turkey Blocks YouTube

From Slashdot.

FM Reader writes
"After a controversial mock-up video reportedly submitted by a Greek member about Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey, Turkish courts ordered the national ISPs to ban the online video service, YouTube. YouTube hostnames are currently redirected at the DNS level to a page that announces the court order."

What interesting about this? One offensive video has resulted in the Turkish government banning YouTube from the entire country.
