Turkey barred access to new Google's services
Turkey barred access to new Google's services
Translation and document-sharing tools. These are some of the Google sites recently barred in Turkey. Ankara has maintained a two-year ban on YouTube. The reason? Insults against the founder of the Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
Turkey’s Telecommunications Communication Presidency, or TÝB, has released an official statement on Friday saying it had blocked access to some Google IP addresses “because of legal reasons.”
Turkish surfers have recently complained about difficulties in accessing docs.google.com, translate.google.com, books.google.com, google-analytics.com and tools.google.com.
According to the TÝB statement, some Google applications may be completely inaccessible or, at the very least, take a long time to load, a move that may affect websites, portals and even the performance of individual computers.
