Turkish Internet Law

Like Syria, Iran, China, North Korea and others, Turkey has joined the list of countries who are both blocking and monitoring use of the Internet. Freedom of Speech is a scary thing for any government that wants to exert control over its citizens. By blocking news, information and outside ideas, that control is easier to maintain. By monitoring who is accessing what kind of sites, people can be watched and possibly arrested at the discretion of the government leadership. Except for use in fighting terrorism and exploitation of vulnerable individuals, I can see few legitimate reasons to do this. Most often it is to secure power for a regime's political and/or religious doctrine.
