I will be examining YouTube’s censorship discourses worldwide as
I will evaluate the public sphere by examining Turkey’s discourses within YouTube. It is claimed that Youtube was blocked on March 7, 2007 in Turkey. The video sharing Website was blocked of a court order because there were many postings of certain videos which were derogatory towards Turkey’s founding father, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. ‘Access Denied: The Practice and Policy of Global Internet Filtering edited by Ronald Deibert Page 189’
I will argue that this was not only the reason for the website being blocked. Many Turkish citizens from many different backgrounds as teachers, students, lawyers, journalists etc, in particular Liberal journalists as Banu Avar. Banu Avar’s book “ Yeni Dunya Duzeni” ( New World Order )was been published in 2010. Banu Avar was working as a journalist for TRT which is Turkey’s national television network. She was producing documentaries which critical of the AK Party (current president’s party name) and also uploading her documentaries to YouTube. After YouTube was blocked this disabled her to access YouTube or YouTube’s services and after that she got sacked. The president Tayyip Erdogan has major influence over TRT as well other television channels and websites as YouTube. He also tried to block Daily Motion but he did not succeed.
The reason that I am choosing YouTube is that many people have given their opinions on YouTube, this was activism was making other people of the public aware of the government’s flaws this led to more Turkish citizens and YouTube users worldwide joining the Anti-AK party ( current presidents party name) movement. I will argue that this played a key role in the censorship of YouTube in Turkey.
To conclude I will argue that Turkey’s public sphere and the discourses within the public sphere is conscious of the government’s flaws and has lead to censorship for political agendas, this is evident because many people have been arrested for posting videos and comments which highly critical of their government. Including soldiers within the army under the act of ‘breaking their regime’ which is defined as ‘ERGENEKON’.
