Thousands Marched Against Censorship

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the my-dogs-are-barking dept.

funfail writes "Thousands of Turkish demonstrators poured into central Istanbul yesterday to protest against the government's Internet censorship. New regulations from Turkey's Internet Technologies and Communications Authority set to come into effect on Aug. 22 will require Internet service providers to offer a choice of four filtering options: family, child, domestic or standard. Many websites are expected to be blocked as a result of the filtering measures."

    I agree name calling without countering the argument is the best way to scare people off.
    Especially when they hate such things as what Paiute was describing.... wait, what?

    Id rather be an xenophobe than someone that condones bullying, mutilation, and sanctioned slaughter.
    Do the world a favor, act like a jackass and throw yourself off a bridge.
