Ban on Blogger has been lifted!

Wed Oct 29, 2008, 1:27 AM
Law authorities in Turkey permit the public access to Blooger! A cable network syndicate in Turkey broadcasted some soccer games via Blospot, for some trademark and copyright issues; access to Blogger had been terminated indefinitely. After a public turmoil and outrage, the authorities lifted the ban on Blogger. This event simply shows that the law authorities are desperate, ill informed, illiterate and unprepared towards Internet crimes in Turkey. They usually behave like a raging bull or a blind scorpion, which chases smoke and shadows. And usually they cut off one’s nose to spite one’s face. For now, Blogger has been saved, however Youtube is still banned. If we couldn’t find a permanent solution, I suppose we will see similar events in the future. But what can we do? Let’s meditate on this. Thank you for your support dear friends. You are great and wonderfull!!! :)))

  • Listening to: static
  • Reading: gibberish
  • Watching: shadows
  • Playing: hide and seek
  • Eating: darkness
  • Drinking: wind

Well that is a half victory I suppose. But you are right. Governments like that are their own worst enemies.

This is good news, but what about the ban on geocities, youtube, richarddawkins.net and many other websites?

Most definitely, there is a "sansurehayir.org", which is under development and "antisansur.com" and "sansurehayir.blogspot.com" and ...... Infact there are lots of, tons of blogs and websites dedicated to anti-censorship, human rights and freedom of thought in Turkish. But somehow they are not enough. Maybe silent people, decent ones must find the courage to stand up and speak. Who are those silent and decent people? I don't know? Academicians, artists, journalists, column writers, anchor persons, politicians or people like us? The people whose don't want to step on the others. The people whose try to improve themselves beyond their boundaries. The people when they start to talk everybody stay silent and listen. I don't know, just keep talking and thinking and writing, that's all... Thank you for all :))

Thank you so much for being there, a victory is a victory. I don't really know how we got this one, but definitely we deserve the celebration, for now...
Take care :)

Capitalism and religion kill the animals, individuals and society. They can kill you in a variety of ways, slow or quick. There can be no happiness or peace on this planet, no prosperity for the masses, as long as this slavery continues.
