Turkish Prime Minister Sues State
The government originally blocked the content from citizens in March, but then lifted the ban after the Constitutional Court ruled that it violated against freedom of expression. Despite this, YouTube is still inaccessible.
This case is the first of its kind in history. The Prime Minister is seeking 50,000 Liras in compensation.
The government held talks with representatives from Twitter. It has stated that it wants Twitter to provide the IP addresses of accounts that Turkey views as a threat.
