A court in Turkey has banned YouTube, a popular video-sharing website, over a Greek-made video deemed insulting to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey. Under Turkish law it is an offence to insult Ataturk. Recently the Turkish government pledged to revise aspects of its penal code, notably article 301, which makes insulting Turkishness illegal. However the government will not drop article 301 entirely and the law against insulting Ataturk will remain. Privately, EU officials said the decision would provide ammunition to those who argue that Turkey does not do enough to protect free speech. Turks had responded with a host of YouTube videos insulting Greece; with YouTube blocked, proud Turks cannot now watch them.
